Wouldn’t it be nice to push a button and publish web services based solely on their semantic descriptions? This presentation addresses the issues behind that magical button and offers some practical solutions and experiences on various topics including:

• Transforming OWL classes into complex XML Schema elements
• Transforming RDF/OWL properties into XML Schema elements and attributes
• Creating Web Service Descriptions (WSDL) from OWL-S processes
• Implementing published web services
• Extending the RDF, OWL and OWL-S vocabularies and inference rules for publishing web services.
