Service Composition and Coordination
(KM-SC)



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]
