Abstract. The WSMO/WSML/WSMX initiative and the OWL-S initiative aim at similar goals: providing a support for Semantic Web services. Despite the similarity of the ultimate goal, the two approaches are very different. In this paper, we analyze one of such differences, namely the concept of mediators in WSMO, and we show how those mediators can be expressed in OWL-S. The result of this work shows that, given the focus of OWL-S, mediators should not be first class citizens in OWL-S, but that they can be expressed and discovered nevertheless. 1
