This paper shows how to use OWL-S in conjunction with Web service standards, and explains and illustrates the value added by the semantics expressed in OWl-S.
Abstract
Service interface description languages such as WSDL, and related standards, are evolving rapidly to provide a foundation for interoperation between Web services. At the same time, Semantic Web service technologies, such as the Ontology Web Language for Services (OWL-S), are developing the means by which services can be given richer semantic specifications. Richer semantics can enable fuller, more flexible automation of service provision and use, and support the construction of more powerful tools and methodologies. Both sets of technologies can benefit from complementary uses and cross-fertilization of ideas. This paper shows how to use OWL-S in conjunction with Web service standards, and explains and illustrates the value added by the semantics expressed in OWL-S.

Integrating Various Data Sources of Geospatial Information Systems with Semantics

TL;DR: A data-flow integration mechanism with a unified description for distributed and heterogonous open data and the solution ensures data interoperability and provides a unified semantic description model to integrate heterogeneous data is proposed.

A Matching Algorithm for Selecting Web Services Based on Non-Functional Features

TL;DR: This work presents a new algorithm (wsSVD) that is founded on the algebraic matrix operation called Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), which is to encode the features of each Web service by a single value using the SVD.

Optimisation of a Digital Ecosystem by a Distributed Intelligence

TL;DR: Simulation results imply that the Digital Ecosystem performs better with the application of a distributed intelligence, marginally more effectively when powered by Support Vector Machine than Neural Networks, and suggest that it can contribute to optimising the operation of the authors' Digital E ecosystem.

Business process execution language for web services

TL;DR: This book focuses on executable processes and comes back to abstract processes in Chapter 4, which can be used to replace sets of rules usually expressed in natural language, which is often ambiguous.

Semantic Matching of Web Services Capabilities

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a solution based on DAML-S, a DAMLbased language for service description, and show how service capabilities are presented in the Profile section of a DAMl-S description and how a semantic match between advertisements and requests is performed.

Semantic Web services

TL;DR: The authors propose the markup of Web services in the DAML family of Semantic Web markup languages, which enables a wide variety of agent technologies for automated Web service discovery, execution, composition and interoperation.

Business Process Execution Language for Web Services Version 1.1
