Content-based Semantic Web Service Discovery, an Empirical Analysis with Implementation

Web Service discovery and composition is one of the key objectives of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) which provides a loosely-coupled environment and enables flexible assembly of existing web services. Service discovery plays a vital role in the overall process of the service discovery and composition. The Web Ontology Language for Services (OWL-S) has emerged as the de facto standard for implementing business process from existing semantic web services. The semantic discovery is a challenging problem and attracts much attention both from industry and academia. This work focuses on the semantic web service discovery using empirical analysis.
