Test Collections

Semantic web services have received a significant amount of attention in the last years and many frameworks, algorithms and tools leveraging them have been proposed. Nevertheless surprisingly little effort has been put into the evaluation of the approaches so far. The main blocker of thorough evaluations is the lack of large and diverse test collections of semantic web services. In this paper we analyze requirements on such collections and shortcomings of the state-of-the-art in this respect. Our contribution to overcoming those shortcomings is OPOSSum, a portal to support the community to build the necessary standard semantic web service test collections in a collaborative way. We discuss how existing test collections have been integrated with OPOSSum, showcase the benefits of OPOSSum by an illustrative use case and outline next steps towards better standard test collections of semantic web services.

Ranking Mechanism

For search of semantic Web services, a semantic Web services matching results ranking mechanism based on SDMM (semantic distance metric model) is proposed. The calculation of semantic similarity measure can be realized by using this three-dimensional SDMM which is for presenting the semantic relationship of objects defined in ontology, therefore, the semantic Web Service matchmaking results can be ranked in accordance with the semantic similarity measure. The approach based on SDMM significantly improves search accuracy of semantic Web service matchmaking, and enhance users experience of semantic Web services search. By a set of experiments, we demonstrate the benefits and effectiveness of our approach.

Selection Of

Semantic Web service selection is considered as the one of the most important aspects of semantic web service composition process. The Quality of Service (QoS) and cognitive parameters can be a good basis for this selection process. In this paper, we have presented a hybrid selection model for the selection of Semantic Web services based on their QoS and cognitive parameters. The presented model provides a new approach of measuring the QoS parameters in an accurate way and provides a completely novel and formalized measurement of different cognitive parameters.

This paper tests the ability of the Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO) and the Web Service Modeling eXecution environment (WSMX) to support the Semantic Web Services technology, and automate the process of web service discovery, selection and invocation. First, it introduced web services and their limitations that were overcome in the vision of the Semantic Web Services technology. Then a Semantic Web Service (SWS) was built on top of WSMO to access the publications of the German University in Cairo (GUC), and was registered to WSMX. To test the validity to the claim, a service request to access the publications of the GUC was sent to WSMX and the process followed by WSMX was investigated. Furthermore, the discussion added a suggestion that would enhance the transparency between the Semantic Web and WSMO-WSMX initiatives.

Development Methods

Semantic web services (SWS) hold the promise of enabling dynamic discovery of candidate web services fitting a particular specified need. One interesting question is what impact this will have on software and systems engineering methods – will mainstream methods like RUP still be suitable, or will new or adapted methods be needed? This article surveys the state-of-the-art in methods specifically tailored for the engineering of SWS systems, looking at development methods trying to cover the entire lifecycle as well as methods covering only one or two phases. Some of the surveyed methods are specifically meant to deal with semantics, others are for the engineering of service-oriented systems in general. The survey reveals that there are many proposals being made in this area, some extensions of mainstream methods like RUP, others more experimental.

State Of Art

Advancements in software agents and Semantic Web service technologies are generally enhancing the landscape of electronic commerce. Semantic Web service technologies promise the standardisation and discoverability of software capabilities for network-enabled organisations. Moreover, with the addition of the intelligence and autonomy of software agents, transactions may be equally automated for consumer-to-consumer, business-to-consumer, and business-to-business collaborations. The 2003 Workshop on Electronic Commerce, Agents, and Semantic Web Services was held in conjunction with the International Conference on Electronic Commerce (ICEC2003). The purpose of this workshop was to bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of electronic commerce, agents, and Semantic Web services to discuss the state-of-art in each individual area in addition to the synergies among the areas. This paper contains a summary of the workshop presentations and a discussion of next steps for Semantic Web services created in the working sessions concluding the workshop.
