It is currently admitted in both mainstream software engineering and agent-oriented software engineering that there is no one-size-fit-all methodology or process. One solution is proposed by the situational method engineering paradigm that provides means for constructing ad-hoc software engineering processes following an approach based on the reuse of portions of existing design processes, the so called method fragments, stored in a repository called method base. One problem raised by this type of approaches is to describe or document fragments and to choose among existing fragments in order to build a new process. The approach proposed in this paper uses OWL-S and documents fragments as services in order to semantically annotate methodologies concepts and fragments. A scenario illustrating an example of fragment selection is reported.
