Semantic Web Services, Part 2

In part 2 of this Trends & Controversies installment, we continue exploring the state of the art, current practices, and future directions for Semantic Web services. SWS aims to bring Semantic Web technology - for representing, sharing, and reasoning about knowledge - to bear in Web service contexts. The objective is to enable a fuller, more flexible automation of service provision and use and the construction of more powerful tools and methodologies for working with services.
