OWL-S Editor Tools http://staff.um.edu.mt/cabe2/supervising/undergraduate/owlseditFYP/OwlSEdit.html

The Semantic Web vision, as expressed by Tim Berners-Lee, is an extension of the current Web in which machines can comunicate between them by providing semantic meaning to Web Content they provide. The World Wide Web Consortium together with other affiliate organisations, is periodically providing standards and markup languages by which semantics can be provided to web content. Such markups include the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). An extension to OWL is the OWL Services (OWL-S) markup language (based on DAML-S) which is used to semantically describe a Web-Service.

Although many tools and APIs that help creating semantic web content are available, there is still the need of creating new tools to address specific areas. In particular, the aim of this project is to create an editor tool which will help the un-experienced user and/or programmer to create an OWL-S description for a Web Service.

OWL-S v1.0 http://www.daml.org/services/owl-s/1.0/

OWL-S is a OWL-based Web service ontology, which supplies Web service providers with a core set of markup language constructs for describing the properties and capabilities of their Web services in unambiguous, computer-intepretable form. OWL-S markup of Web services will facilitate the automation of Web service tasks, including automated Web service discovery, execution, composition and interoperation. Following the layered approach to markup language development, the current version of OWL-S builds on the Ontology Web Language (OWL) Candidate Recommendation produced by theWeb-Ontology Working Group at the World Wide Web Consortium.
