Service-oriented computing has been receiving significant importance in recent years. The main aim of service oriented development paradigm is to provide better alignment between business requirements and IT solutions. Despite several benefits, Service Oriented Architecture is facing a number of challenges i.e., Knowledge management, Semantic gaps between requirements etc.In Service Oriented Architecture, Requirements Engineering (RE) is one of the most significant activities for software development but still there are some challenges i.e., traditional requirement issues, user involvement, change in requirements, lack of domain knowledge etc. The aim of our work is to provide a mechanism which address the issue of traditional requirement engineering in service oriented architecture e.g., ambiguity, inconsistency and incorrectness of requirements, that are major causes of failure of projects. Ontology has been adopted as a solution for the improvement of requirement specification. In our thesis, we will provide ontology based solution for alignment of services and requirements.
