Abstract

Formalization of process behavior is a key issue for semantic web services. However, this bears the disadvantage of clumsy specifications. In this paper we introduce a petri net based approach to capture the semantics of Web services. It offers a visual modeling technique and means of refinement and composition. The model is very formal allowing for a clear specification of the semantics a process has. We combine ideas from the Petri net community with ideas from the description logic area focusing on ontologies.
