• What is the role of Knowledge Web in the Semantic
Web Services working group
(WSMO+WSML+WSMX)?
• How Knowledge Web benefits from its participation
in the Semantic Web Services working group of the
SDK cluster?

The potential of WSMO in
Knowledge Web
• INDUSTRY
– 1.1 Industrial application needs activities will provide industrial use
cases to WSMO
– 1.3 WSMO will provide guidance to the technology recommendations
of Knowledge Web in the area of Semantic Web Services
– 1.4 The dissemination activities that WSMO will acomplish will help
the promotion tasks of Knowledge Web
• The promotion of ontology technologies will facilitate the adoption of
the results of WSMO
– 1.5 WSMO will ensure a close cooperation of Knowledge Web with
other projects in the context of the SDK cluster
• 1.5 will help to widen the cooperation of WSMO with other initiatives

The potential of WSMO in
Knowledge Web
• Research
– 2.5 The WSML working group is investigating refinements (subsets) of FLogic, and it is developing proposals such as OWL-Light
• Clear and strong relation to the Semantic Web language extensions in Knowledge
Web, and a fruitful cooperation between both efforts will be established.
– 2.6 The close cooperation already established within the WSMO working
group will facilitate the objectives of the Knowledge Web virtual research
center.
• 2.6 will contribute to the integration of the different research efforts of the
Knowledge Web partners, having a possitive effect on the cooperation within the
WSMO working group.
– 2.5 & 2.6 will be in direct contact with WSMO
– The other WPs will be in contact with WSMO via WP 2.4 (Semantic Web
Services)
• WP 2.4 activity will be aligned with the WSMO working group, will redirect the
problems encountered in the development of WSMO to the relevant Knowledge
Web activities, and will feed back the relevant results from the other research
activities to the WSMO working group.

The potential of WSMO in
Knowledge Web
• Research
– 2.1 will receive from WSMO use cases in the Semantic Web Services area for
testing the applicability of its research results (including modularization and
benchmarking),
• WSMO will use these results in order to be able to deal with the expected increase
in the number of Semantic Web Services available, to deal with domain ontologies,
and to evaluate the reuse of SW tools.
– 2.2 focus its research on mediation at data level. WSMO will provide
problems that data mediation should solve in the area of Semantic Web
Services
• WSMO will apply the Knowledge Web results in the definition of mediators.
– 2.3 investigate the evolution and evaluation of ontologies, as well as meaning
negotiation. WSMO will provide use cases
• Important aspect for WSMO, as the domain ontologies used in the definition of
Semantic Web Services might change over time. WSMO will benefit from the
results

The potential of WSMO in
Knowledge Web
• Research
– 2.4 Knowledge Web will benefit from the joint results that
will be obtained in cooperation with SEKT and DIP
• The work in 2.4 will become part of the WSMO activity
• The Semantic Web Services WP will be in charge of distributing
the results and problems from WSMO to the relevant Knowledge
Web activities and it will feed back the Knowledge Web results to
the WSMO working group.

The potential of WSMO in
Knowledge Web
• Education
– The education area of Knowledge Web will include in the
mid-term education materials about WSMO, and would be
expected to provide professional training for companies in
WSMO in order to facilitate its adoption.

Conclusions and future work
• The role of WSMO in Knowledge Web will be of great relevance
– providing important results and problems to the research area
– cooperating with the industry area to support the adoption of WSMO in an
industrial setting
– The joint of WSMO towards standardization in the area of Semantic Web
Services will have a big impact in industry
• Knowledge Web will have an active role in the development of WSMO
– contributing with its research to the sucess of the initiative
– supporting the dissemination of the results of the working group
• Future work
– focused on monitoring the effective cooperation between WSMO and
Knowledge Web and assuring that the results and problems flow between
both is actually done.
– The Semantic Web Services activity, led by DERI, will work towards these
objectives, acting as the strongest (but not unique) point of union between
WSMO and Knowledge Web.
