Modeling semantic web services: a case study

Nowadays, there is an enormous amount of study about the semantic Web, especially regarding one specific technology: semantic Web services. However, to be widely adopted by users and to succeed in real-world applications, semantic Web services development must catch up with mainstream software trends. As has already occurred with traditional Web services, Web development should be adapted to support the systematic development of the new components required by applications involving semantic Web services. In this paper we present, through a case study, an approach for developing semantic Web services. This approach is based on the extension of MIDAS, a model-driven methodology for Web Information Systems development.
