Orchestration Tools is a software toolset supporting the creation, maintenance and orchestration of web services. Recently, the toolset has been modified to specifically support the use of semantic descriptions and semantic web services. However, the modifications require further research to be completed. The toolset is composed of two applications with graphical user interfaces and a set of web services that together form a framework supporting the orchestration of domain web services. In addition, the toolset contains two web services that simulate the operation of actual production equipment and have been useful in testing the Orchestration Tools throughout the development process. One of the applications with user interfaces is an ontology editor that allows creating and modifying semantic descriptions, while one is a web service explorer capable of discovering web services and invoking their operations.
