A semantic Web service extends the capabilities of a Web service by associating a semantic description of the Web service in order to enable better search, discovery, selection, composition and integration. Semantically rich language such as OWL-S has been created in order to provide a mechanism for describing the semantics of semantic Web services. Unfortunately, for the common developer the learning curve for such languages can be steep, providing a barrier for adoption and widespread use. Model driven architecture (MDA- ) is an approach to software development that is centered on the creation of concerns between a specification and an implementation. We are developing an approach that allows architecture to focus on creation of composite Web services by specifying a semantic Web services using OWL-S specifications. These composite services are specified using standard UML model and generating specifications and applications using MDA concepts
