Abstract

We present a model that supports Web service description, composition, and workflow design. The model is composed of an ontological layer that represents domain concepts and their relationships, and a resource layer that describes the resources in terms of a domain ontology. With our approach the design of a workflow is expressed as a conceptual query network while its implementation is computed deductively from the selected resource descriptions. We illustrate our approach with an application case from the domain of bioinformatics.
