Mediators are critical for service scenarios, since providers and consumers frequently have opposite goals, e.g. to maximize profit with minimal resource (provider perspective) against to maximize satisfaction with minimal cost (consumer perspective). Nonetheless, semantic mediation is not explicitly taken into account in the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). In this paper, it is presented an extension of SOA which includes the mediator as first-level entity, besides the client, the provider, and the registry of the services. The assignment of semantics to information that is processed by the mediator through ontologies, and the formalization of mediator's behavior are included among the advantages of the proposal.
