This chapter presents the Web Service Modeling Ontology, an ontology for describing various aspects related to Semantic Web Services. WSMO is the major initiative in the area of Semantic Web Services in Europe. The starting point of WSMO was the Web Service Modeling Framework (WSMF) (Fensel and Bussler in Electronic Commerce Research and Applications 1(2):113–137, 2002), which was refined and extended, resulting in (i) a formal ontology, the Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO), (ii) a formal family of languages, the Web Service Modeling Language (WSML), and (iii) an execution environment, the Web Service Modeling Environment (WSMX). The four main elements of WSMF have been adopted and refined in WSMO, resulting in four main elements for describing Semantic Web Services: (i) ontologies that provide the terminology used by other elements, (ii) goals that define the problems that should be solved by Web services, (iii) Web services descriptions that define various aspects of a Web service, and (iv) mediators which facilitate the resolution of interoperability problems. WSMO is a key technology needed for the successful realization of Semantic Web Services and Semantically Enabled Service-oriented Architectures. It provides a conceptual model for Semantic Web Services that combines the design principles of the Web, the Semantic Web and distributed service oriented computing in order to provide a clean modeling solution for various aspects related to Semantic Web Services.
