Abstract

The difference between the Real-world services and the Web Services is discussed. Real-world services are software functionality, accessible and configurable over the Web. The Ontology-Based Electronic Integration of Complex Products and Value Chains (OBELIX) project has developed a component-based ontology for real-world services, along with methods and tools for graphical modeling of services and for knowledge-based configuration of service bundles. The development of ontologies, as formal conceptualizations, aims to bridge human and computer understanding. It is found that an ontology is good, if it is used in and validated against independent, external business scenarios and industrial use cases.
