We
are participating in the DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML)
initiative to develop OWL-S,
a set of ontologies to describe functionalties of web services.
The DARPA
Agent Markup Language (Now "OWL") is an essential
part of the Semantic
Web, a world wide effort to construct a logically based
markup language that will surpass current XML based markup
languages. OWL represents semantic relations in machine-understandable
ways, enabling automatic reasoning about web pages and the
information that they contain. We
are contributing to the development of the following for the
development of the semantic web:
- OWL-based
language for advertising and locating agents, ontologies,
and other entities
- Tools
to facilitate the writing of advertisements and queries
- Matching
engines and agent infrastructure (e.g., ontology agents)
- Ontologies
for
- domain-specific
agent services/capabilities
- describing
service parameters and request preferences
- describing
agent resources
- describing
agent security parameters
- describing
low-level services and platform characteristics
- Agent
search engines that serve as crawlers for the middle agent
The main
problem we are addressing is that of matching of web service
capabilities, allowing web services to find each other based
on functionality. Capability matching is crucial for the automatic
collaboration of web services. We have implemented the
Semantic Matchmaker, a DAML-S-based matching engine that
allows web services to locate each other, providing a solution
to the capability matching problem, and allowing full implementation
of interoperative service providers on the web.
More information
is available at the DAML-ATLAS
Web site.
