Abstract. The work 1 reported in this article aims towards computing web services ’ data semantics. The paper provides extensive experimental results towards the automatic semantic annotation of WSDL specifications. Specifically, this paper reports on combinations of state-of-the-art methods for automatically mapping the part elements of the WSDL input and output messages to ontology classes: These combinations result to a specific method for Uncovering web Services Data Semantics (USDS). We study the performance of USDS even in challenging cases where lexical items are rather scarce and misleading. Experimental results are being thoroughly discussed, showing the potential and limitations of USDS.
