formally defined, not allowing computers to understand and interpret the data to be
exchanged among Web services. The Semantic Web initiative??™s purpose is similar
to that of the Web services (Preece & Decker, 2002): to make the Web machine processable
rather than merely human processable. Thus, Web services are considered
as an essential ingredient of the Semantic Web and benefit from the Semantic Web
technologies. Key components of the Semantic Web technology are:
??? a unified data model such as RDF,
??? languages with well defined, formal semantics, built on RDF, such as the Web
ontology language (OWL) DARPA agent markup language and ontology
inference layer (DAML+OIL), and
??? ontologies of standardized terminology for marking up Web resources, used
by semantically enriched service level descriptions, such as OWL-S (former
DAML-S, DAML-based Web service ontology).
