Abstract :
A key element to realizing the Semantic Web is developing a suitably rich language for encoding and describing Web content. Such a language must have a well defined semantics, be sufficiently expressive to describe the complex interrelationships and constraints between Web objects, and be amenable to automated manipulation and reasoning with acceptable limits on time and resource requirements. A key component of the Semantic Web services vision is the creation of a language for describing Web services. DAML-S is such a language it is a DAML+OIL ontology for describing Web services that a coalition of researchers created with support from DARPA.
