Proposed Functional-Style Extensions for Semantic Web Service Composition

In a related paper the author sets out how various parts of a semantic web service-based architecture for Armadillo, a harvesting tool for semantic annotation, can be instantiated with information extraction and related language services. The paper has constructed this as a workflow, illustrated as a whole on the following page, in BPEL4WS, reasoning, as have several other authors, that even while one should like to take advantage of semantic web service technology there exist few, if any, generally available choreography solutions for OWL-S. As a result the author plans to take the lessons learned as input to an effort to implement and extend a 'Coordination engine' for OWL-S in the CASheW-s project.
