Abstract
As a member of resources on Semantic Web, Web Services become increasingly important to realize accurate composition for interoperation between human beings and information systems. In order to address the need for semantic annotation of existing Web Services, a special UML profile can be built upon UML metamodel and MMFI4Ontology Registration for Semantic Web Services described with OWL-s. Then the mappings from OWL-s to UML are defined in detail to indicate that our UML profile and transformation rules can be used to represent services with UML activity models. Efforts on our UML profile and further mappings can enrich the semantics of ubiquitous Web Services, facilitate services modeling for domain experts and make it easy to update current tools for supporting growing services on semantic web.
