Abstract
This thesis describes the development of a system, that stores different Web services in a repository. One or more ontologies determine the structure of the repository to ensure a highly flexible and extensible way of storing. The ontologies determine the domain of the repository by providing classes, properties and attributes as well as the relationships among them. A Web service itself is an instance of the classes, properties and attributes. The different instances are saved in the repository, too. The search engine does not use keywords, but concepts for finding Web services. Such concepts describe the requirements of requested Web services by using the classes, properties and attributes of given ontologies. The system itself can reason about the given concept and the stored information. Thus, the system uses also the implicit information provided by the ontologies to retrieve the requested Web services.
