                  among networked programs and devices, industry has
                  developed orchestration and process modeling
                  languages such as XLANG, WSFL, and recently
                  BPEL4WS. Unfortunately, these efforts leave us a
                  long way from seamless interoperation. Researchers
                  in the Semantic Web community have taken up this
                  challenge proposing top-down approaches to achieve
                  aspects of Web Service
                  interoperation. Unfortunately, many of these efforts
                  have been disconnected from emerging industry
                  standards, particularly in process modeling. In this
                  paper we take a bottom-up approach to integrating
                  Semantic Web technology into Web services. Building
                  on BPEL4WS, we present integrated Semantic Web
                  technology for automating customized, dynamic
                  binding of Web services together with interoperation
                  through semantic translation. We discuss the value
                  of semantically enriched service interoperation and
                  demonstrate how our framework accounts for
                  userdefined constraints while gaining potentially
                  successful execution pathways in a practically
                  motivated example. Finally, we provide an analysis
                  of the forwardlooking limitations of frameworks like
                  BPEL4WS, and suggest how such specifications might
                  embrace semantic technology at a fundamental level
                  to work towards fully automated Web service
                  interoperation.},
