ABSTRACT

The task of creating and deploying Web Services is not all that different than what developers currently do for traditional Web applications. The tendency on all platforms is to automate as much as possible in creating Web Services under interoperable standards. The most advanced vision for the next generation of Web Services is the development of Web Services over Semantic Web Architecture. Support of Semantic Web related technologies includes languages RDF (see Chapter 7) and OWL (see Chapter 8).
