"Semantic Web Technologies and E-Business: Toward the Integrated Virtual Organization and Business Process Automation"

With
the tight connection with OWL, OWL-S aims to make Web services computer interpretable
and to enable automated Web service discovery, invocation, composition,
and monitoring. It defines the notions of a service profile (what the service does),
a service model (how the service works) and a service grounding (how to use the
service).
The service profile is the key component for service discovery. Its components can
be divided into four sections:
???. Service profile: Service profile provides a superclass of every type of high-level
description of the service. There is a two-way relation between a service and
a profile which are expressed by the properties presents and presentedBy.
???. Service.name,.contacts,.and.description: Service name, contacts, and description
provide some properties of the profile that provide human-readable
information.
