【 摘 要 】

In the field of Semantic Web Services (SWS), the OWL-S and WSMF approaches provide us with ontology-based frameworks for WSDL web services. These description frameworks enable automation of high-level tasks such as dis- covery, invocation and composition of web services. In our work we focus on the software architectural aspects of ontology-enabled services to define an Ontology- enabled Service-Oriented Architectural style (Onto-SOA). The proposed style provides for a general integration mechanism for ontologies and SOA in a manner consistent with the SOA constraints. Onto-SOA is independent from an ontology language and a particular web service technology. Therefore, it can be easily combined with other styles to devise software architectures for existing SWS frameworks as well as novel approaches to integration of ontologies and SOA.
