Semantic enrichment of web service operations

Abstract

In this paper we describe the process by which semantic relatedness assertions are discovered and defined between Web service operations. The general approach relies on a global ontology model that describes Web services. Obtaining semantic similarities between operations is performed by calculating eight semantic relatedness measures between all operations pairs. The entire process consists of: Web service parsing, Web service data extraction, automatic Web service ontology population, similarity measures calculation, similarity discovery; and finally, object property assertion between web service operations.
