Abstract
We present an ontology-driven approach to service composition with deductive databases. We formalize Web services as Deductive Web services (DWS) where the Extensional Service Base (ESB) stores all input and output signatures of services. The Intensional Service Base (ISB) corresponds to a set of deductive rules that express the semantics of the ESB captured by a domain ontology. We provide a framework for the composition of Web services represented as deductive Web services. In particular, we show that an approach that combines schema mapping and deductive databases can provide the missing link in service composition to implement scientific workflows.
