In this paper, the authors present an approach called SATIS (Semantically AnnotaTed Intentions for Services), relying on intentional process modeling and semantic web technologies and models, assists collaboration among the members of the neurosciences community. The main expected result of this work is to derive and share semantic web service specifications from a neuroscientist’s point of view to operationalise image analysis pipelines with web services.

As a greater number of Web Services are made available today, automatic discovery is recognized as an important task. To promote the automation of service discovery, different semantic languages have been created that allow describing the functionality of services in a machine interpretable form using Semantic Web technologies. The problem is that users do not have intimate knowledge about semantic Web service languages and related toolkits. In this paper, we propose a discovery framework that enables semantic Web service discovery based on keywords written in natural language. We describe a novel approach for automatic discovery of semantic Web services which employs Natural Language Processing techniques to match a user request, expressed in natural language, with a semantic Web service description. Additionally, we present an efficient semantic matching technique to compute the semantic distance between ontological concepts.

Distributed information systems are growing rapidly in response to the improvement of computer hardware and software and this is matched by the evolution of the technologies involved. This article focuses mainly on Web Services technology and discusses related technical issues including availability, performance and composition. It also introduces Grid, agents and Semantic Web technologies that can work together with Web Services to serve different business goals.

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.

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.

The main objective of the exploitation of semantic descriptions of services through Semantics is a better support for the life-cycle of Web services. The large number of developed ontologies, languages of representations, and integrated frameworks supporting the discovery, composition and invocation of services are a good indicator that research in the field of semantic web service (SWS) has been considerably active. The authors provide in this paper a detailed overview of the approaches and solutions, indicating their core characteristics and objectives required and provide indicators for the interested reader to follow up further insights and details about these solutions and related software.
