Some network management trends are currently analysing the application of several generic technologies that include Web Services and Ontologies. Web Services can provide an interface to access to managed resources. On the other hand, ontologies provide a way to represent management information. Web Services interfaces can be defined using OWL-S, an ontology of services that semantically describes the set of operations a Web Service provides. This can be useful in configuration management, where each network resource defines the way it can be configured. This paper presents a proposal to describe with the OWL Service ontology the management interfaces based on Web Services. To illustrate this approach, an example is provided in which OWL-S is used to specify the processes needed to configure a resource.
