Reusing OWL-S to model knowledge intensive tasks performed by Knowledge Based Systems

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the work done to develop a task ontology based on the task templates provided by CommonKADS. It discusses how modeling of KBS is done in the CommonKADS and also gives a brief overview of OWL-S which an upper-level ontology for web services. Constructs of OWL-S ontology have been compared with constructs proposed by CommonKADS to see to what extent it can be reused to build a task ontology to model the tasks that are performed by Knowledge Based Systems.
