Publication and Discovery of Semantically Annotated Geospatial Web Services

چکیده
Environmental information and services have become a crucial asset in the creation of decission support systems. Unfortunately, this information and services are not usually exposed in an interoperable and standard way, limiting their reusability and impact in the community. Publishing and discovering geospatial information and services on the Web is therefore an important challenge in order to create a breeding ground for collaboration and more sophisticated environmental platforms. Based on common standards defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) as the starting point to ensure interoperability, we propose a discovery mechanism based on semantic annotations. OGC service descriptions are annotated with SAWSDL and linked to concepts in domain ontologies, following a common semantic service model. We seamlessly integrate the semantics in the standard OGC discovery infrastructure, extending the CSW service catalogues with semantic publication and discovery. Semantics queries can be created based on formal languages like WSML, significantly improving the precission of discovery. In this paper we present our approach, which provides a semantic infrastructure for publication and discovery of environmentally enabled web services.

Semantic Provenance Registration and Discovery using Geospatial Catalogue Service
A geospatial catalogue service allows geospatial users to discover appropriate geospatial data and services in a Web-based distributed environment. Metadata for geospatial data and services is organized structurally in catalogue services. Provenance for geospatial data products, as a kind of metadata describing the derivation history of data products, can be managed in a same way as other kinds...
متن کاملDAGIS: A Geospatial Semantic Web Services Discovery and Selection Framework
The traditional Web services architecture uses a keyword based search to match a query to one or more service providers. However, a world-toword matching to discover a service provider is too simplistic for geospatial data and fails to capture matches that advertise their functionality using domaindependent terminology. In this paper, we present DAGIS (Discovering Annotated Geospatial Informati...

UDDI registries are included as a standard offering within the product suite of any major SOA vendor, serving as the foundation for establishing design-time and run-time SOA governance. Despite the success of the UDDI specification and its rapid uptake by the industry, the capabilities of its offered service discovery facilities are rather limited. The lack of machineunderstandable semantics in...

Abstract The cloud computing is undoubtedly a great achievement of the computer networks. In this environment, various services have been provided but users should take the trouble to find the services they need. Although researchers have tried to solve the needs of users to information on the web, their studies enjoy strengths and weaknesses and there is no comprehensive system for the disc...
متن کاملWeb Services Discovery Utilizing Semantically Annotated WSDL
To make semantic Web services accessible to users, providers use registries to publish them. Unfortunately, the current registries use discovery mechanisms which are inefficient, as they do not support discovery based on the semantics of the services and thus lead to a considerable number of irrelevant matches. Semantic discovery and matching of services is a promising approach to address this ...
