Abstract
WSMO is just one of the frameworks to semantically describe Web services that have been developed in the last years. OWL-S and its extension SWSF, as well as METEOR-S, have proposed alternative approaches to WSMO that, despite sharing some similarities, exhibit significant differences with respect to the technological standards, languages and underlying formalisms that are used. This chapter gives an overview of these approaches together with a comparison based on the criteria referring to the core design principles of Web and Semantic Web development, as well as of distributed, service-oriented computing on the Web. In addition, the chapter introduces IRS-III, a framework and implementation infrastructure that, similarly to WSMX, supports the creation of Semantic Web Services based on WSMO ontology.
