Abstract
Earlier sections introduced the concept of adaptive service provisioning, where semantically described services are combined according to a semantic goal definition. One of the basic assumptions for such a scenario is the availability of semantically described service candidates, sometimes, collectively, denoted as service landscape. The services usually must be derived from existing functional assets in the business and IT environment. Therefore, the traditional issue of legacy integration still holds for modern service oriented environments. Not only the technical gap between heterogeneous IT assets must be closed here, but also the creation, maintenance, and registration of semantic descriptions must be performed.
