Web Services and Semantic Web

Semantic Web Enabled Web Services

Abstract

Web Services in their current state are insufficient to address real semantic interoperability. It is argued that enriching Web Services with Semantic Web technologies like ontology support will result in real interoperable web services termed Semantic Web enabled Web Services (SWWS). The Web Service Modeling Framework (WSMF) is introduced that defines the necessary concepts for SWWS providing maximal de-coupling, scalable mediation and support for behavior level. An architecture implementing the components necessary to deploy SWWS is introduced.
