The combination of semantic technology and Web services in form of 'Semantic Web Services' has until now been oriented towards extension of the WS-* stack with ontology-based descriptions. The same time, there is a strong movement away from this stack -- for which the 'Web' part is little more than branding--towards RESTful services. The Linked Open Data initiative is a keen adopter of this approach and exposes many datasets via SPARQL endpoints and RESTful services. Our developing approach of 'Linked Open Services', whose current state is described in this paper, accommodates such Linked Data endpoints and general RESTful services alongside WS-* stack-based services with descriptions based on RDF and SPARQL. This capitalises on the Linked Data Cloud and makes service description and comprehension more easy and direct to the growing Linked Data community. Along the way, we show how the existing link between service messaging and the semantic viewpoint, commonly called 'lifting and lowering', is usually unduly restricted to ontology-based classification and misses how the effect of a service contributes to the knowledge of its consumer. Our SPARQL-based approach helps also in the composition of services as knowledge-centric processes, and encourages the development and exposure of services that communicate RDF.
