As the use for web service technology has become more prevalent in chemical informatics, it also poses new challenges in the organization and discovery of available information and computation services. In the mean time, semantic web developments are aiming to make web content machine-processable, allowing semantic interoperability and meta-level exploitation of data and computation. Here we explain how to use semantic web service technology to support an existing chemical informatics cyberinfrastructure. More specifically we use OWL-S, the web ontology language for web service, to describe the generic properties for our chemical informatics web services, which we extend to develop domain-specific ontology for those services. In this presentation we will also discuss how to utilize autonomous agent technology within the semantic web service infrastructure to allow automatic discovery, composition, invocation and execution of workflows that are meaningful in early stage drug discovery.
