  3. Outline DAML-S technical overview & update Overview of ontology areas Profile, process model, grounding Progress to date Challenges, next steps Directions for 2002-2003 Key challenges (Sheila McIlraith) Joint committee plans (Katia Sycara)

  4. Convergence on Services • Commercial vendors, media, forecasters, etc. • Intranets, not just internets • W3C Web services efforts • Semantic Web community • DAML-S; WSMF & other EU efforts • ISWC: 10 services-related papers, 7 posters • Grid computing (OGSA) • Ubiquitous computing (devices) • Mobile access to services  A remarkable opportunity • Bringing behavioral intelligence to the Web

  5. DAML+OIL  OWL(Ontology) RDFS (RDF Schema) RDF (Resource Description Framework) XML (Extensible Markup Language) DAML-S: DAML for web Services A DAML+OIL ontology/language for (formally) describing properties and capabilities of Web services DAML-S (Services) DAML-??? (Rules, FOL?)

  6. DAML-S Objectives Automation of service use by software agents Ideal: full-fledged use of services never before encountered: discovery, selection, composition, invocation, monitoring Useful in the “real world” Compatible with industry standards Incremental exploitation Enable reasoning/planning about services e.g., On-the-fly composition Integrated use with information resources Ease of use; powerful tools

  7. Automation Enabled by DAML-S • Web service discovery • Find me a shipping service that transports goods to Dubai. • Web service invocation • Buy me 500 lbs. powdered milk from www.acmemoo.com • Web service selection & composition • Arrange food for 500 people for 2 weeks in Dubai. • Web service execution monitoring • Has the powdered milk been ordered and paid for yet?

  8. Upper Ontology of Services Ontology images compliments of Terry Payne, University of Southampton

  9. Service Profile:“What does it do?” High-level characterization/summary of a service Used for • Populating service registries • A service can have many profiles • Automated service discovery • Service selection (matchmaking) One can derive: • Service advertisements • Service requests

  10. Service Profile Non Functional Properties Functionality Description

  11. Profile: Recent evolution Styles of use • Class-hierarchical yellow pages • Implicit capability characterization • Arrangement of attributes on class hierarchy • Can use multiple inheritance • Process summaries for planning purposes • More explicit • Inputs, outputs, preconditions, effects • Less reliance on formal hierarchical organization • Summarizes process model specs

  13. Upper Ontology of Services

  14. Process Model: “How does it work?” Service Model“How does it work?” Process • Interpretable description of service provider’s behavior • Tells service user how and when to interact (read/write messages) & Process control • Ontology of process state; supports status queries • (stubbed out at present) • Used for: • Service invocation, planning/composition, interoperation, monitoring • All processes have • Inputs, outputs, preconditions and effects • Function/dataflow metaphor; action/process metaphor • Composite processes • Control flow • Data flow

  15. Service Model / Process Model

  16. Composite Process Output & Effects Input & Preconditions AcmeTruckShpng • confirmation no. • ... • customer name • location • car type • dates • credit card no. • ... www.acmecar.com book car service ? • failure notification • … ? • confirmation no. • ... • confirmation no. • dates • room type • credit card no. • ... www.acmehotel.com book hotel service • confirmation no. • ... ? • customer name • flight numbers • dates • credit card no. • ... www.acmeair.com book flight service ? • failure notification • … • failure notification • errror information • …

  17. Process Model:Recent evolution • Conditional outputs & effects • Parameter bindings <rdf:Description rdf:about="#FullCongoBuy"><sameValues rdf:parseType="daml:collection"> <ValueOf atClass="#FullCongoBuy“ theProperty="#fullCongoBuyBookISBN"/> <ValueOf atClass="#LocatedBookOutput“ theProperty="outInCatalogBookISBN"/> <ValueOf atClass="#CongoBuyBook“ theProperty="#congoBuyBookISBN"/></sameValues>  Pushing the limits of DAML+OIL expressiveness

  18. Upper Ontology of Services

  19. Service Grounding: “How to access it” • Implementation-specific • Message formatting, transport mechanisms, protocols, serializations of types • Service Model + Grounding give everything needed for using the service • Examples: HTTP forms, SOAP, KQML, CORBA IDL, OAA ICL, Java RMI

  20. DAML-S / WSDL Grounding • Web Services Description Language • Authored by IBM, Ariba, Microsoft • Focus of W3C Web Services Description WG • Commercial momentum • Specifies message syntax accepted/generated by communication ports • Bindings to popular message/transport standards (SOAP, HTTP, MIME) • Abstract “types”; extensibility elements • Complementary with DAML-S

  21. DAML-S DL-based Types Process Model Inputs / Outputs Atomic Process Message Operation Binding to SOAP, HTTP, etc. WSDL

  22. DAML-S / WSDL Grounding (cont’d)

  23. Review: Upper Ontology of Services

  24. Path of Evolution Release 0.5 (May 2001) Initial Profile & Process ontologies Release 0.6 (December 2001) Refinements to Profile & Process Resources ontology Two approaches to formal semantics Sycara/Ankolekar, McIlraith/Narayanan Release 0.7 (October 2002) DAML-S/WSDL Grounding Profile, Process Model refinements More complete examples Towards 1.0 Expressiveness issues; process modeling; industry tie-in

  25. Related Activities Web site & mailing lists http://www.daml.org/services/ www-ws@w3.org Users UMCP (Hendler/Parsia), UMBC (Finin), Manchester (Goble), CMU (Sadeh), Lockheed-Martin, Ultralog, beta-reviewers, … Tools DAML-S publications WWW10 SW Workshop (2), SWWS, WWW11, Coordination 2002, AAMAS, ICSW (4), IEEE Computer, IEEE Intel. Systems… W3C Web services activities Designated liaison for WS Arch. WG; Katia Sycara Experiment Use cases

  26. Challenges • Finding the “80/20” line • Profiles: relationship with processes • Process modeling: many issues • Variability of public/private aspects of Processes • Extending to offline (sub)processes • Generalizing to multiple roles • Failure, transactions • Where and how to go beyond DAML+OIL? • Interface between DL ontology, logical expressions, algorithm/workflow representation • Connecting with Industry • Showing compelling value • Not promising too much • Providing an incremental path

  27. Next steps / priorities Focus on use cases  architecture Joint committee forming … Move to OWL Model information services Profile: More substantial illustrative taxonomies Tie in with existing taxonomies where possible (e.g. UNSPSC) Process Model Evaluate potential tie-in with an existing effort (WSFL?) Support real-world use Describing and using public WSDL services Possible collaborations with other SemWeb projects Demos directed towards Web services community Tools DAML-S API
