In some application domains as composite software, ranging from search engines, to more general applications, like cooperative anddistributed applications or e-business and e-commerce applications, more andmore rely on capability description. In this paper we try to highlight someconcepts concerning capability description and discovery, and we discuss therelationship between capabilities. Specifically, we choose a capabilitydescription language, as and extension of ALN Description Logics languages.The mediation services are expected to play an important role in helpingautomated processes to access heterogeneous information. They are not Yes/Noanswers from the mediator, when no single object meets the search criteria, they may be cooperative answers to make a composite answer.
