2. Workshop Themes The confluence of two emerging disciplines E-services
Semantic Web
Applying Semantic Web technologies to E-services:
specification of service capabilities and behavior
to enable the automation of tasks such as e-service discovery, invocation, composition and interoperation
Building blocks provided by industry; many issues remain unresolved
need to turn to the fundamentals in enabling technologies (DBs, WFMS, agents, etc.)
