“…This transition can be seen in the often cited paper by McIlraith, Son, and Zeng (2001, p.46) who describe semantic web services as making web services "computer-interpretable, use apparent, and agent-ready." The agent community (Gibbins, Harris, & Shadbolt, 2003;Martin, Cheyer, & Moran, 1999;McIlraith et al, 2001;Sycara et al, 2004;Wang, Zhao, & Han, 2002) has recognized the benefit of ontology if computer-to-computer web architectures are to be achieved. Furthermore, the combination of service and domain ontology is seen as a key to achieving service synthesis (Chen et al, 2003).…”

Web service-based development represents an emerging approach for the development of distributed information systems. Web services have been mainly applied by software practitioners as a means to modularize system functionality that can be offered across a network (e.g., intranet and/or the Internet). Although web services have been \ud predominantly developed as a technical solution for integrating software systems, there is a more business-oriented aspect that developers and enterprises need to deal with in order to benefit from the full potential of web services in an electronic market. This ‘ignored’ aspect is the representation of the semantics underlying the services themselves as well as the ‘things’ that the services manage. Currently languages like the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) provide the syntactic means to describe web services, but \ud lack in providing a semantic underpinning. In order to harvest all the benefits of web services technology, a framework has been developed for deriving business semantics from syntactic descriptions of web services. The benefits of such a framework are two-fold. Firstly, the framework provides a way to gradually construct domain ontologies from previously defined technical services. Secondly, the framework enables the \ud migration of syntactically defined web services toward semantic web services. The study follows a design research approach which (1) identifies the problem area and its relevance from an industrial case study and previous research, (2) develops the \ud framework as a design artifact and (3) evaluates the application of the framework through a relevant scenario

“…From its very conception, SWS technology has been linked to agents (Gibbins et al, 2003;Hendler, 2001;McIlraith et al, 2001;Paolucci & Sycara, 2003). In this context, the concept of 'agent' refers to autonomous software entities able to exploit the semantic aspect of data.…”

“…However, independently of the undoubted benefits of these technologies, they suffer from different problems that limit their functionality when applied separately and prevent them from being used/implanted at a massive scale in the society, particularly in the industry (Ana Mas, 2005;Gibbins, Harris, & Shadbolt, 2003;Louis & Martinez, 2005;Paolucci & Sycara, 2003 the cooperative interaction between them can lead to the development of new more powerful applications (Buhler & Vidal, 2005; Gó mez, Rico-Almodó var, García-Sánchez, Toma, & Han, 2006;Shafiq, Suguri, Ali, & Fensel, 2006;Stollberg et al, 2005).…”

“…This same technology support Current intersections between web services and the semantic web have delivered a diverse body of research. The agent community [15,25,26,33] has recognized the benefit of ontology if computer-to-computer web architectures are to be achieved. Furthermore, the combination of service and domain ontology is seen as a key to achieving service synthesis [8].…”
