WSDL 2.0 includes the hooks to allow the specification of semantic descriptions. W3C has chartered the Semantic Annotations for Web Services Description Language (SAWSDL) Working Group to develop an annotation mechanism that takes advantage of those hooks.
“There are multiple communities around Semantic Web Services,” explains Jacek Kopecky, chair of the Semantic Annotations for WSDL Working Group and representative from DERI Innsbruck. “W3C is bringing them together under its consensus-driven process to ensure that the rich and varied expertise can be distilled and put to work in a standard solution for Web automation.”
The Semantic Annotations for WSDL Working Group will also provide a mapping of the new properties into a Resource Description Framework (RDF) form compatible with the existing RDF mapping for WSDL.
