* * 0 OUTLINE Introduction Motivation for OWL-S The parts of OWL-S –Service Profile –Service Model –Grounding Comparison with Related Technologies Examples and Discussions 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services

* * 0 Introduction OWL-S: –An ontology of service –As a part of DARPA Agent Mark-up Program Traditional systems: –Lack of semantic description of Services –Requirement of human assistant 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services

* * 0 Motivations for OWL-S Automatic Web Service Discovery Automatic Web Service Invocation Automatic Web Service Composition & Interoperation Automatic Web Service Execution Monitoring 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services

* * 0 Automatic Web Service Discovery E.g.: Selling Airline ticket accepting particular credit card Declarative advertisements of service properties for automatic service discovery 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services Use Search engine Read Web Page Execute the service Manually Satisfies the constraints??

* * 0 Automatic Web Service Invocation Execution of Web service by computer program or agent E.g.: Purchasing an airline ticket Machine understands what input, output, how to execute the service 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services Fill a form Click button for execution Human performs

* * 0 Automatic Web Service Composition and Interoperation Automatic selection, composition and interoperation E.g. Travel Arrangement Declaring prerequisites and effect of service 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services Select the web service Specify the composition manually Check necessity of software for interoperation Human

* * 0 Automatic Web Service Execution Monitoring The ability to find out: –Where the request is in the process –The status of the request –Be sure the service made –Unanticipated exception 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services

* * 0 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services Parts of Service Ontology Is Taken From [1]

* * 0 Service Profile Describe the service what does –Service name, Text Description and Contact Information Similar to yellow pages Gives information about the functionality –IOPE s of Service Gives the characteristics features of the services –Quality ratings of service –Classification information Enables automatic discovery 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services

* * 0 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services OLW-S & UDDI Mapping Is Taken From [2]

* * 0 Service Model Describes how service works Includes Data and control flow of service process Does not enforce the consistency with Service Profile –Traveling service in profile – Book Service in service process model Process Model is subclass of Service Model 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services

* * 0 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services Process Ontology Is Taken From [1]

* * 0 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services Is Taken From [6] Example: Process Sequence

* * 0 Grounding Describes how to access the service Concrete description such as binding protocol, address, message formats, etc. WSDL + OWL-S –Type : Includes OWL-S class types –Message: OWL-S inputs and OWL-S outputs –Operation:OWL-S atomic process –Binding: Encoding Style supplied 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services

* * 0 Comparison with Related Technologies UDDI - Used mostly in registering services. - UDDI has 2 drawbacks: 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services 1.provides a search mechanism depending on keywords 2.lacks the semantic description - Advantage of UDDI It guarantees syntactical interoperability to OWL-S

* * 0 Comparison with Related Technologies - Because of these reasons OWL-S and UDDI complements eachother, we need a maping between them. 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services UDDI (continues) Is Taken From [2]

* * 0 Comparison with Related Technologies - can be compared with the OWL-S service model in terms of expressiveness, semantics, monitoring and fault handling - In addition to the input and output in BPEL4WS, OWL-S add the precondition and effects. - OWL-S is based on formal semantics (advantage of OWL-S) 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services BPEL4WS

* * 0 Comparison with Related Technologies - BPEL4WS provides handling mechanisms of faults, OWL-S does not support any recovery protocols. - Execution monitoring task is in the future list of BPE4WS.However both of OWL-S and BPEL4WS do not support execution monitoring now. - WS-Coordination and WS-Transaction may extend by BPEL4WS. 21/12/2005OWL-S: Ontology Web Language for Services BPEL4WS(continues)
