Web Services Composition (WSC) is a seamless approach to develop the software development projects on the basis of reusability potentials. Most web services composition approaches tend to benefit from either of practical or formal models; this paper proposes an approach for semi-automatic web services composition to close the gap between formal models and database practice. In this approach, the web services are stored in a database after being modeled in G-net. The G-net services employed in the composition process can be subsequently obtained using a proposed WSC search algorithm with SQL queries. Finally, based on the relational algebra operators the WSC is performed and a Java-based tool is developed for WSC. The proposed approach is demonstrated using a digital class assistant as a case study
