Modeling semantic web service using semantic templates

Abstract

Web Services have been widely used recent years. In order to enable the intelligent discovery and use by machine, the semantic information should be provided to represent various aspects of Web Services. If it always need build complex semantic information from scratch to describe every aspect of Web Service, it will lead to not only large redundancy and inconsistency but also low maintainability and extensibility. The Customizable Semantic Template is proposed to resolve such issues, which enables to semantically model any aspect of Web Service in a more flexible and efficient way. A universal method to automatically generate Semantic Template instance is also proposed to resolve the issues like high workload for building semantic information for every aspect of Web Service manually and high specialized domain knowledge required.© 2008 IEEE.
