Abstract

The Web Services Business Process Execution Language, version 2.0 (WS-BPEL 2.0 or BPEL for brevity) introduces a model for business processes based on Web services. A BPEL process orchestrates interactions among different Web services. The language encompasses features needed to describe complex control flows, including error handling and compensation behavior. BPEL for Semantic Web Services (BPEL4SWS) uses Semantic Web Service Frameworks to define a communication channel between two partner services instead of using the partner link which is based on WSDL 1.1. It enables describing activity implementations in a much more flexible manner based on ontological descriptions of service requesters and providers.
