Abstract:
In this paper the differences and relationships between regular web services and semantic web services are discussed. Later on a “bottom-up” approach is introduced for converting existing web services to semantic web services using the emerging WSMO technologies (specifications). We firmly believe that bottom-up approaches are needed to facilitate smooth transition from the existing syntactically defined web services to their future semantically enriched “counterparts”. We present also our preliminary tool for semi-automated conversion of WSDL to WSMO services.
