Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an up-to-date software architecture, which is used in many areas of informatics today. There are lots of open standards and free tools which aim to realize the concepts of SOA. This paper introduces an approach by using a given collection of open standards and tools to realize a semantically enriched SOA architecture. The main building blocks of the architecture, the Web services, will be extended by a semantic description. The resulting SOA architecture and the services themselves will be called semantically enriched. For orchestration we use the OWL-S [1] standard. The choreography will be described in BPEL. The semantically enriched Web services run on an OWL-S Virtual Machine, while the complex processes, described in BPEL [2] on a BPEL run-time. Between the OWL-S invoke and BPEL description a special, self-developed mediator service will be used.
