Evaluation of DAML-S (1/2) • Issues related to the language specification • Issues inherited from the Semantic Web
Evaluation of DAML-S (2/2) • Generality of descriptions • Possible inconsistency between the ServiceProfile and the ServiceModel • Lack of tools that enable the definition of all three aspects of a Daml-s description • Lawlessness in ontologies • Inability to compare preconditions and effects • Tricky comparison on the non-functional attributes • Maturity issue
Future Work • Expand the survey by examining composition and standards (such as BPEL4WS, WSCL, WSRP, …) and see how they can be combined with other standards in order to meet the specified requirements • Examine DAML-S 0.9, OWL • Investigate the merging of UDDI/WSDL and DAML-S activities • Extend our discovery mechanism prototype to address as many requirements as possible and evaluate the standards
