Information
Web Services standards, under development in the W3C Web Services Activity and other organizations, make up an integrated technology stack that Web applications developers can rely on to ensure interoperability. From the beginning, some research has been conducted to meet particular needs in this area, such as registering resources or services, discovering resources or services on the Web, composing a service by using several other services, etc. The early solutions consist of using Web agents, often using pre-defined directories, sometimes simply crawling the Web.

The intent of the workshop on Frameworks for Semantics in Web Services is to provide advice to W3C on possible future work in the area, in particular the creation of a Working Group.
