Recently, the evolution of ubiquitous computing has brought a breakthrough in network access and web based services including the agricultural field, which is integral to human living. In a ubiquitous vertical farm environment, context aware services display the context information in selecting the appropriate web service by identifying the state of the user and its surroundings. In this web enabled environment, establishing a context aware system for the vertical farm without the understanding of domains gets complicated especially when shaping with the avails. The semantic web should enable users to locate, select, compose and monitor web-based services automatically. For a successful execution of such services in semantic web, the service needs to be grounded with the corresponding WSDL. To resolve these issues, our work includes the development of an OWL-S based ontology model to define the relationship between the domains and add classes needed for the model in every aspect of the service oriented system. Compared with any other semantic web service, OWL-S is more suitable for the Vertical Farming System in the ubiquitous computing.
