DAML-S Research Project


KSL's DAML-based Web Service Ontology (DAML-S) Project, is a DARPA sponsored program with the goal of developing next generation semantic web tools and technology for web services. Prof. Richard Fikes is Principal Investigator on this project. Dr. Sheila McIlraith is the Project Manager and is leading KSL's involvement in the development of the DAML-S language

    The DAML Services arm of the DAML program is developing a DAML-based Web Service Ontology (currently named DAML-S), as well as supporting tools and agent technology to enable automation of services on the Semantic Web. DAML-S supplies Web service providers with a core set of markup language constructs for describing the properties and capabilities of their Web services in unambiguous, computer-intepretable form. DAML-S markup of Web services will facilitate the automation of Web service tasks including automated Web service discovery, execution, interoperation, composition and execution monitoring. Following the layered approach to markup language development, the current version of DAML-S builds on top of DAML+OIL.
