DAML-S is a DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML)-based Web service ontology that 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, composition and interoperation. Following the layered approach to markup language development, the current version of DAML-S builds on top of DAML+OIL (March 2001), providing an expressive language for Web service markup in a language with a well-defined semantics.

A draft release of DAML-S version 0.5 can be found at http://www.daml.org/services/daml-s/2001/05/

The page is currently under construction and will be updated over the next weeks. We welcome comments and feedback from interested parties.
