Abstract

Semantic web service (SWS) is an extension of the web service with an explicit representation of meanings. It promises to increase the level of automation and has ability to integrate and reuse diverse information resources relevant to a given situation in a cost-effective way. It has the potentiality to change the way of knowledge and business services which are consumed and provided on the web. In conventional web service the problem of discovering and selecting the most suitable web service represents a challenge for SWSs. We propose Type Convertor algorithm that converts WSDL files into OWL-S files and facilitates the redefinition of the conventional web service annotations (WSDL) using semantic annotations (OWL-S). The aim of this study is to achieve a standardization search engine based on advanced ontology languages and using WSDL to OWL-S type convertor. An ontology enhanced search engine or an ontology enhanced service registry is able to do the search automatically and in most efficient way.
