Overview This paper describes the efforts to provide a collaborative problem solving architecture driven by semantic-based workflow orchestration and constraint problem solving. These technologies are based on a shared ontology that allows two open systems of very different natures to communicate, perform specialised tasks and achieve common goals. The paper gives an account of this approach and the semantic basis of the workflow and constraint languages. It is argued that having open systems built on Semantic Web standards is an effective way to provide inter-operable Web services. However, much care must be exercised before correct semantics may be exchanged and collaborations occur smoothly.
