Abstract
Nowadays many functions within intra- and inter- enterprises have been encapsulated into Web services to enable platform independent integration and interoperation. To realize the enterprise applications, most Web services are composed as workflows based on Business Process Execute Language (BPEL). However, the absence of semantic information in processes reduces the efficiency of interoperation and cooperation among these Web services from different providers. In this paper, a novel framework to support semantic cooperation of business processes is proposed, which brings semantic information into processes through mapping OWL-S to BPEL and Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) documents, then Web services from various domains and enterprises can understand each other eventually. The framework is being implemented under Project ImportNET.
