Abstract
The existence of an increasing number of different ontologies used in semantic web service fields raises numerous interoperation and communication problems with respect to service discovery, composition, and execution. Current approaches for ontology mediation often fail due to their lack of sufficient semantic expressiveness and reasoning capability. In this paper, we present a novel approach allowing ontologies to provide self-contained semantics for service applications. We show how desired application ontologies can be generated using a new merging algorithm for service ontologies based on the names of the terms. We present experimental results and compare them to the output of the PROMPT ontology merging tool.
