Semantic Composability Measure for Semantic Web Services

Abstract

Motivated by the problem of automatically composing network accessible services, such as those on the World Wide Web, this paper proposes an approach to exploit all semantic information available for semantic Web services to complete this task. For semantic Web services, we propose a prioritized and limited list of other Web services, with composability measure value based on feasibility of being succeeding service in a composition to fulfil the request. Due to the fact that in semantic Web services, semantic information - all description and signatures - is defined by ontology language, we use some of the mapping rules to estimate a correlation between services for composability. Then we order them based on composability measure value and choose the n top values from them, for a list, which can be referenced in planning the composition with high degree of automation
