Workshop Themes

• The confluence of two emerging disciplines
• E-services
• Semantic Web
• Applying Semantic Web technologies to E-services
• specification of service capabilities and
  behavior
• to enable the automation of tasks such as
  e-service discovery, invocation, composition and
  interoperation
• Building blocks provided by industry many issues
  remain unresolved
• need to turn to the fundamentals in enabling
  technologies (DBs, WFMS, agents, etc.)
