Abstract
While the Web has emerged as a World Wide repository of digitized information, by and large, this information is not available for automated inference. Two recent efforts, the Semantic Web [1] and Web Services hold great promise of making the Web a machine understandable infrastructure where software agents can perform distributed transactions. The Semantic Web transforms the Web into a repository of computer readable data, while Web services provide the tools for the automatic use of that data. To date there are very few points of contact between Web services and the Semantic Web: research on the Semantic Web focuses mostly on markup languages to allow annotation of Web pages and the inferential power needed to derive consequences, utilizing the Web as a formal knowledge base. Web services concentrate on proposals for interoperability standards and protocols to perform B2B transactions.
