'''WSML''' or '''Web Service Modeling Language''' is a [[formal language]] that provides a [[syntax]] and [[semantics]] for the [[WSMO|Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO)]].

In other words, the WSML provides means to formally describe the WSMO elements as [[Ontologies]], [[Semantic_Web_ServicesSemantic Web Services|Semantic Web services]], [[Goal_(management)Goal|Goals]], and [[Mediator_patternMediator pattern|Mediators]] .<ref>J. de Bruijn, H.

The WSML is based on the logical formalisms as [[Description_LogicsDescription Logics|Description Logic]], [[First-order_logicorder logic|First-order Logic]] and [[Logic Programming]] .<ref>J. de Bruijn, H.

==Language variants of WSML==

{{unreferenced|section|date=July 2023}}

* ''WSML Core'', defined as an intersection of the [[Description_LogicsDescription Logics|Description Logic]] and [[Horn_logicHorn logic|Horn Logic]]. Supports modeling classes, attributes, binary relations and instances.

* ''WSML-DL'', extension of the WSML Core, fully captures the [[Description Logic.]] <math>\mathcal{SHIQ}^\mathcal{(D)}</math>.

* ''WSML-Flight'', extension of the WSML Core, provides features as meta-modeling, constraints and nonmonotonic negation.

* ''WSML-Rule'', extension of the WSML-Flight, provides [[Logic Programming]] capabilities.

* ''WSML-Full'', ana unification of the WSML-DL and WSML-Rule.
