A conceptual architecture for semantic web enabled web services

ABSTRACT

Semantic Web Enabled Web Services (SWWS) will transform the web from a static collection of information into a distributed device of computation on the basis of Semantic technology making content within the World Wide Web machine-processable and machine-interpretable. Semantic Web Enabled Web Services will allow the automatic discovery, selection and execution of inter-organization business logic making areas like dynamic supply chain composition a reality. In this paper we introduce the vision of Semantic Web Enabled Web Services, describe requirements for building semantics-driven web services and sketch a first draft of conceptual architecture for implementing semantic web enabled web services.
