Abstract

In this paper we present BPEL for Semantic Web Services (BPEL4SWS) - a language that facilitates the orchestration of Semantic Web Services using a process based approach. It is based on the idea of WSDL-less BPEL and enables describing activity implementations semantically which increases the flexibility of business processes. Following an approach that uses a set of composable standards and specifications, BPEL4SWS is independent of any Semantic Web Service framework. It can be used to compose Semantic Web Services, traditional Web Services and a mix of them.
