KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING IN SEMANTIC META DATA (SDM) : FUTURE TRENDS

As Web Services have full-fledged they have been significantly leveraged within the academic, research and business communities. Semantic Web Services and Semantic Grid Services, the intelligent combination of Web / Grid services and the Semantic Web/Grid can start off a technological revolution with the development of Semantic Web/Grid Services. These technological advances can ultimately lead to a new breed of Web / Grid-based applications. In this paper we present a generic framework for engineering and managing services Semantic Meta Data (SMD) with the ultimate purpose of facilitating interoperability, automation, and knowledgeable reuse of services for problem solving. It adopts Ontologies and the Semantic Web technologies as the enabling technologies by which services' metadata are semantically enriched and made interoperable, understandable, and accessible on the Web/ Grid for both humans and machines.
