To support the automatic use of web services semantics is critical: D-AG009 Semantics The web services architecture must support the capability for an agent to make an ad hoc choice of the right web service. Critical Success Factors for this goal: D-AC024, D-AC025, D-AC026 D-AC026 ensures that a web service is properly characterized so that its semantics is clear to an automatic agent. D-AC026.1 The Web Services Architecture should be aligned, where appropriate and possible with the Semantic Web. This may require some modification of current technology choices. D-AC026.2 It must be possible to characterize the semantics of a web service, including elements within a choreographed service. D-AC026.2.1 It must be possible to publish references to an ontology in a web service description D-AC026.2.2 It must be possible to publish a description of the service using elements of one or more ontologies. D-AC026.2.3 It must be possible to characterize a service using purely publicly observable semantics. I.e., the semantic description of a web service should not rely on private agreements or on unobservable characteristics of services and agents.
