In order to realize web service automation in collaborative product commerce,a semantic-based web service description meta-model supporting web service automation was proposed.The meta-model extended the Web Services Description Language(WSDL) method and founded a remedy for defects by adding the semantic and performance information.The meta-model was made up of three parts by answering the following questions: What does the web service do,How to conduct the web service,How to get the web service,and What supports are needed for using the web service.Subsequently,through the discussion on the implementation technologies of web service description,it was pointed out that DARPA Agent Markup Language for Services(DAML_S) could satisfactorily support the instantiation of the meta-model.Finally,a case study was provided to verify the correctness of the meta-model and the feasibility of the specified implementation technology.
