Dear Naveen, Thanks very much for your kind assistance. I now can test your tool but want to tell you the problems and questions again when I used WSDL2OWLS to get the OWL file for Address Finder Web services - URL: http://arcweb.esri.com/services/v2/AddressFinder.wsdl OWL-S still cannot define and describe the meaning or semantics of one precondition that is needed to invoke the Web service, but on the other hand, it defined the same object with the same meaning many times. In this typical case, "token" is required as one of the input variables to invoke this Web service. However, this "token" is dynamically generated by invoking another Web service which cannot be found within this WSDL file. Meanwhile, since the user can have a global account to use the paid Web services, they can use their user name and password to get the "token" for different services. That's to say, "token" should be the object that has the same meaning to the users. However, in OWL files, we can find "token" is defined three times because it is used in three functions. I will be very grateful to you if you can provide any suggestion to solve such problems for OWL-S. Thanks, Xuan
