OWL-S [OWL-S] is an ontology for describing Semantic Web Services. While OWL-S
services can be composite, apart from a primitive process description
of the composition, there is no actual support for the description of
service compositions. |

The Semantic Web offers rich descriptive techniques
for quality definition, which is machine-interpretable and thus
reasoning can be used on them [CD-JRA-1.3.2]. |
The Semantic Web is an initiative to represent Web
content in a form that is more easily machine processable, and to use
intelligent techniques to take advantages of these representations
[Antoniou & van Harmelen, 2008]. _ALT_ The Semantic Web is a collaborative movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that promotes common formats for data on the World Wide Web. By encouraging the inclusion of semantic content in web pages, the Semantic Web aims at converting the current web of unstructured documents into a "web of data". It builds on the W3C's Resource Description Framework [W3C] According to the W3C, "The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries."[W3C] |
