TLDR
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.read more

A Computational Logic Application Framework for Service Discovery and Contracting
Paolo Torroni,Federico Chesani,Marco Gavanelli,Marco Alberti,Massimiliano Cattafi,Evelina Lamma,Paola Mello,Marco Montali +7 more
TL;DR: The authors define, illustrate, and evaluate a framework, called SCIFF Reasoning Engine SRE, which can establish if a Semantic Web Service and a requester can fruitfully inter-operate, by computing a possible interaction plan based on the behavioural interfaces of both.
Dissertation
Semantic service description framework for efficient service discovery and composition
TL;DR: A context-based semantic service description framework based on which an enhanced service discovery mechanism is proposed, which gives service users more flexibility to search for services in more natural ways rather than only by technical specifications of required services.

Compositional Logical Semantics for Business Process Languages
TL;DR: A precise semantics of HOWF enables us both to dynamically generate HOWF for automatic composition of services and to reason about the reachability of goals in process models when HOWF are described manually.

Model-driven dynamic generation of context-adaptive web user interfaces
TL;DR: A semantically enriched service-oriented approach is presented that is based on the Catwalk framework for model interpretation and generation of adaptive, context-aware Web applications.
Web Service Composition via Semantic Matching of Interaction Specifications
TL;DR: This paper presents a method of facilitating automated service composition through the declarative specification of potential interactions between them (or workflows) and the provision of semantic matching support to allow the automated interpretation of the interaction specifications.

OWL Web ontology language overview
TL;DR: This document provides an introduction to OWL by informally describing the features of each of the sublanguages of OWL, the Web Ontology Language by providing additional vocabulary along with a formal semantics.

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
TL;DR: The BPEL4WS specification defines an interoperable integration model that should facilitate the expansion of automated process integration in both the intracorporate and the business-to-business spaces.
