**Telecommunications Service Domain Ontology:** 

Network is the bearer of services and services are the soul of network. The convergent network extends the original communications service type and gradually forms new convergent services which integrate the traditional telecommunication services and a large number of value-added services or contents on Internet (Kolberg et al., 2010). The integrated service is essentially to handle the data and services across heterogeneous networks and service platforms. Facing the heterogeneity and diversity of service resources, integrated services need to run in a multi-terminal, multi-access network and multi-platform heterogeneous environment. These tremendous changes of service environment present a significant interoperability challenge for traditional service provisioning theory. Nowadays, the provision of context-awareness, adaptive personalized services is the development goal of future ubiquitous network (Park et al., 2009). It can enable seamless information exchange between humans, with humans and with entities (e.g., mobile devices), as well as entities and entities at any time, any place and in any way. To meet the development needs of adaptive personalized convergent services, dynamic service discovery and composition technologies are explored widely in the telecommunication service field (Bashah et al., 2010;

Today, semantic web service (McIlraith, 2001), as an establishing research paradigm, is defined as an augmentation of web service with semantic annotation, to facilitate the higher automation of service discovery, composition, invocation and monitoring in an open environment. Integration of the semantic web technology and telecommunications systems is explored widely in the telecommunication service field (Do & Jorstad, 2005; Vitvar & Viskova, 2005; Qiao et al., 2008a; Gutheim, 2011; Khan et al., 2011; Zander & Schandl, 2011). It is well known that ontology is the semantic interoperability and knowledge sharing foundation for semantic web services matching and context reasoning. Therefore, how to construct the telecommunications service domain ontology is an important factor of successfully applying semantic web services into telecommunication service systems (Veijalainen, 2007, 2008). However, telecommunication service field consists of a large number of concepts/terminologies and relations. How to abstract the sharing domain
