The Web Services technology failed to meet its promises of fully automating the communication between applications. It necessitated human intervention in the selection and invocation of the most appropriate web service. The Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO) and the Web Service Modeling eXecution environment (WSMX) are two initiatives claiming to be supporting the Semantic Web Services technology, which promises the automation of the whole communication process including these two steps. The paper tested validity of the initiatives' claim by using them to develop a Semantic Web Service (SWS) for accessing the publications of the German University in Cairo (GUC). The results showed that the initiatives were able to meet the Semantic Web Services' promises and automate the selection and the invocation of the most matching Web Service. |
