近年來網路服務(Web Service)受到很大的重視，原因在於它藉由一般性的Web協定來進行應用程式間的互通，提供了整合分散、異質的軟體環境之可能性，透過XML、SOAP、WSDL、UDDI，在Internet上的應用程式可以對其它的應用程式提供服務(Service)。
　　Web Service適合應用在電子商務領域(E-Commerce)，因為企業間可以藉由Web Service溝通異質的系統，以進行企業間商業流程的溝通，傳統的WFMs(Workflow Management System)系統想達成這個目標，但成本太高且無法適應目前快速變動的市場環境。經由服務整合(Services Composition)的方式，可結合多個現有服務，而成為一個完整的加值服務，亦可提供使用者需求的特定服務。但是，就如同現今網路資訊氾濫的情況一樣，Web Service數量大量增加，導致搜尋適合的服務耗費成本高，因此服務整合必須克服搜尋與比對的問題。
　　服務的搜尋與比對，不應只使用關鍵字，尚應考慮網路服務的語意，藉由本體論(Ontology)的應用，使得網路服務間的比對可藉由推論來得到較佳的比對。由於使用者對於網路服務的著眼點是整合的服務提供了什麼，而不是詳細的組合方式與流程，因此本研究希望透過流程模版的定義，事先描述網路服務間組合的方式，並藉由Ontology的幫助，讓使用者容易找到需求的組合情況，然後再由流程模版透過語意與語句的比對機制，找到可組合的網路服務。
