Abstract
The ‘traditional’ Web Service triple SOAP, WSDL and UDDI, while widely praised as the next Silver Bullet, has been heavily criticized at the same time as being just the most recent replacement technology for remote procedure calls. The main criticism lies in the syntactic nature that SOAP, WSDL and UDDI retain compared to previous solutions: Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Business-to-Business (B2B) Integration are possible on a syntactic level only; however, the biggest problem – the Semantic Integration – still cannot be solved by traditional Web Services at all, whatsoever. The goal of Semantic Web Services is to change exactly that. Fundamentals of Semantic Web Services are discussed as well as advanced topics that are necessary for Business Integration in the real sense.
