| Abstract | Developing a good and high quality modeling language for Web Service systems is as essential as having a blueprint for a large building. However, current existing modeling languages are limited in their expressive power, and hence cannot describe intelligent and dynamic Semantic Web Services. They also lack the ability to specify automated Web Services compositions. In this study, a new XML-based modeling language for the description of Web Services and their compositions—Web Service Modeling Language (WSML) is designed. WSML aims to make Web services computer-interpretable, which can be described with sufficient information to enable ‘automated’ Web Service composition and execution. First, -Calculus theory is employed to provide necessary principles and standards for the design guideline. Secondly, two popular modeling languages—DAML-S and WSFL are used as the design prototype. Finally, XDD rules embedded in WSML are proposed to supply stronger interoperation ability. At the end of the design work, WSML is evaluated by comparing with its similar languages (DAML-S and WSFL). The results reveal that WSML is a very straightforward and effective language to describe process models. |
