Approaches to Web Service Composition for the Semantic Web

Abstract—Service composition is gaining popularity because a composite service can perform functions that an individual service cannot. There are multiple web services available on the web for different tasks. The semantic web is an advanced form of the current web in which all contents have well-defined meanings due to nature, allowing machines to process web contents automatically. A web service composition is a collection of web services that collaborate to achieve a common goal. They reveal the established methods for web service composition in both syntactic and semantic environments. In this study Initially, we identify the existing techniques used for the composition. We classified these approaches according to the processing of the service descriptions, which can be syntactic or semantic-based service processes. We have reviewed more than 14 articles in this domain and concluded the merits of the methodologies applied for the implementation of web service composition.

With the Development of web service technology, a single web service cannot fulfill different users’ diverse requirements. Adding semantic information to the input-output message of web services provides us a method to implement web service composition automatically. After researching on existing algorithms for web service composition, this article proposed a QoS-oriented web service composition algorithm based on graph search with semantic information.

Semantic Web Service Composition

Web services allow developers to create, generate and compose them at runtime. However, a single web service is not sufficient to achieve most of user demands in its own. This gives rise to the concept of web services composition of is an appropriate solution to maximize the benefits of web services. Web services composition has received a great attention from different communities. A number of different semantic standards/specifications have been proposed to tackle this issue. These standards are Ontology Web Language and Web Service Modeling Ontology. In this paper, we provide an overview of these standards and present a comparison between them. We also overview different applications that have developed based on each of these standards and present comparisons among them.

Semantic Web Service Composition

At present, more and more service providers carry on their business as a Web type. However, the function of individual Web services is very limited and the lack of semantic information, only can meet the needs for a single customer. In this paper, making Web services become an entities understood by the computer through introducing the concept of the Ontology. A framework of Semantic Web Service composition also is proposed based on Ontology for assembling basic Web services coming from different service providers and a solution is provided for to achieve value-added services based on a single service.
