Analysis of business process integration in Web service context
The integration of Web services is a recent outgrowth of the Business Process integration field that will require powerful meta-schema
matching mechanisms supported by higher level abstractions, such as UML meta-models. Currently, there are many XML-based workflow
process specification languages (e.g. XPDL, BPEL) which can be used to define business processes in the Web services and Grid Computing
world. However,with limited capability to describe the relationships (schemasor ontologies) between process objects, the dominant useof XML
as a meta-data markup language makes the semantics of the processes ambiguous. OWL-S (Ontology Web Language for Services) exploits the
semanticdescriptionpowerofOWLtobuildanontologylanguageforservices.Itthereforebecomesacandidateforaninterlingua.Inthispaper,
wepropose anintegrationframework for business processes, which is appliedtoWebservices defined in OWL-S.
