Description/Abstract

Hypermedia systems’ researchers investigate the various
approaches in the way documents and resources are linked,
navigated and stored in a distributed environment. Unfortunately,
those systems fail to provide effortlessly usable discrete services,
since it is difficult both to discover and to invoke any of them.
This paper proposes the usage of emerging technologies that try to
augment the Web resources with semantics in order to provide
Hypermedia services that can be easily discovered, and integrated
by potential third party developers. In this context, we analyze the
benefits for the Hypermedia community upon the adoption of
Semantic Web technologies for the description of Hypermedia
services, and we implement an initial corresponding ontology.
