Hierarchy in Service Profile

Hi all,

I am beginning with OWL-S and I have studied the SEVICE PROFILE. I started
studying RDF and OWL, and when I began studying owl-s, specifically the
profile, I did not understand how I will manage the hierarchy concepts. I
read the technical overview trying to matching the BravoAir example and I
suppose the profileHierarchy tag is for doing that, but I really do not
understand how.

I will explain in more details, suppose I have a service “bank”(many owl
example use that), that right now I do not know what is its propose. I(my
agent) only want to discover services that have relations with bank-money,
financial and economic areas.

In OWL we have an hierarchy that we can distinguish between bank -
economical things and bank - wood seat  and so my concept “bank” are founded
or asking the user about which one or matching more words to cross bank and
economical, for example.

Thus, what I want to know is where in the profile, I will create this
hierarchy, or where I will reference my service X in one OWL in order to
discover the right  service, because I did not understand how my agent will
find my semantic service. What am I thinking wrong? What am I making
confusion? Is it described with pofileHierarchy tag? If yes, how can I do
it?

Any comments will be very appreciate,
Daniela
