WS Oriented Search Engines

• A Web Service infrastructure needs special search engines
• Similar problems to the current Web... eg:
  • "see if these services can cooperate properly"
  • "find me the most efficient equation solver for my problem"
  • "how do I characterize my company's web services?"
  • etc.
• These are all "Semantic Web"-like issues:
  • managing metadata on services (ie, resources...)
  • building the right terminologies (and not only one!)
  • equivalence of various terminologies
  • logical reasoning on service descriptions
