Functionality.description: Profile ontology defines the following properties
of the Profile class for pointing to IOPE??™s (Input, Output, Precondition, and
Effect): hasParameter, hasInput, hasOutput, hasPrecondition, hasEffect.
???. Profile attributes: Profile attributes define additional attributes of the service,
including the quality guarantees that are provided by the service, possible
classification of the service, and additional parameters that the service may
want to specify.
OWL-S ontology combines the explicit and implicit representation for the Web
services (Sycara & Paolucci, 2004). To the explicit representation, the process
model of OWL-S explicitly defines the work process ontology of the Web service.
The Web service operation is defined in the process ontology directly, and the
matching of the process is a straightforward task. However, this definition space
is too large for different Web services with different capabilities. To the implicit
representation, the service profile of OWL-S implicitly defines the state transition
of the Web Service??™s input to its output.
