WSDL-S: lighter weight approach to semantic web services
Tim Finin at 4:52 pm to categories SemanticWeb, Web.

Researchers at the University of Georgia's LSDIS Lab have developed
WSDL-S as a lightweight approach for adding semantics to Web services.
This is an alternative to other schemes, including OWL-S and WSMO.

They have also released Radient, an Eclipse plugin, that provides a UI
for annotating existing WSDL documents into WSDL-S via an OWL
Ontology. Radient uses Harry Chen's Cobra Ontology Viewer plugin.

It only appears to be lightweight relative to OWL-S and WSMO, but
they're both pretty megalithic, and as the name suggests, WSDL-S
builds on WSDL. But there may be ideas that can be borrowed, the
semantic annotation does solve a lot of the choreography/orchestration
kind of problem.

Cheers,
 Danny.
