The "WSMO-Lite: Lightweight Semantic Descriptions for Services on the Web" specification has been published as a W3C Member Submission, co-authored by experts from the University of Insbruck, the Open University, Ontotext AD, FZI, and the University of Manchester. WSMO-Lite is a restricted subset of WSMO (Web Services Modelling Ontology), to be used as an extension to SAWSDL and WSDL for Web Services descriptions. It proposes a layered approach for addition of semantics at the different description levels: the data model (in XML Schema) is annotated with a domain ontology, the interface (in WSDL) is annotated with conditions for invocation of the service and effects of that invocation, the overall functionality of the service is annotated thanks to a service classification ontology.
