Search Results for "service discovery"

As the set of available Web Services expands, it becomes increasingly important to have automated tools to help identify services that match a requester's requirements. Finding suitable Web services depends on the facilities available for service providers to describe the capabilities of their services and for service requesters to describe their requirements in an unambiguous and ideally, machine-interpretable form. Adding semantics to represent the requirements and capabilities of Web services is essential for achieving this unambiguity and

Abstract This document defines a set of extension attributes for the Web Services Description Language and XML Schema definition language that allows description of additional semantics of WSDL components. The specification defines how semantic annotation is accomplished using references to semantic models, e.g. ontologies. Semantic Annotations for WSDL and XML Schema (SAWSDL) does not specify a language for representing the semantic models. Instead it provides mechanisms by which concepts from the semantic models, typically defined outside the WSDL

Semantic Tools for Web Services are semantics-based, semi-automatic Eclipse plug-ins for Web service matching, discovery, and composition. Software developers can use these tools to find and compose existing software (represented as Web services) in order to implement new or changed business processes. Internet technology (IT) consultants and developers can use them to integrate new or legacy business applications that are represented as Web services. The tools are now available as an Eclipse plug-in that can be installed on IBM's WebSphere®
