The ontology has marked its presence in several research fields in order to address issues in knowledge modeling' Artificial Intelligence, classification, clustering and more specifically in knowledge engineering. In the Web Service field, ontology is used principally to describe the Web Service interface for discovering, storing and composing Web services. This is well known as semantic Web services, such as OWL-S, WSMO and WSDL-S. Unfortunately, work in this field remain insufficient till now; so, supporting this description by adding a shared ontology (knowledge base) can improve the performance of the Web Service technology. Manual construction of ontology is a tedious and expensive task which requires domain expert intervention; an automatic ontological construction process will be interesting and less costly solution in terms of time and money. In this paper, we propose to use clustering algorithms to create an ontological network (Service Ontology (SO)) from a semantic Web Services corpus. The created SO can be used for storage and discovery of Web Services in a distributed and intelligent environment.
