Web service is an important technology to develop business to business e-commerce application. From a business perspective of time to market, dynamic evolution offers flexibility that software can adapt to unforeseen and fluctuating business requirements. OWL-S, based on OWL, is a service ontology language. The semantics provided by OWL support automation of service discovery, invocation, and service composition. In this paper we propose a framework to support dynamic evolution of service-oriented applications. We extend use-case analysis method to derive service description by defining requirements concept and mapping from requirement concept to activity diagram. A prototype is provided to show the validity of this framework.
