Description Logics for Matchmaking of Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
Matchmaking is an important aspect of E-Commerce interactions. The current trend in B2B E-Commerce automation is towards complex interactions for service provision. In this context, matchmaking services require rich and flexible metadata as well as matching algorithms. The Semantic Web initiative at W3C is gaining momentum and generating suitable technologies and tools to cover both the metadata and the algorithmic aspects. In this paper we describe our experience in building a matchmaking prototype. We choose to base our prototype on a Description Logic (DL) reasoner, operating on service descriptions in DAML+OIL. We report on our investigation of DAML+OIL to express service descriptions and on our experience on existing DL reasoners, in particular assessing RACER and FACT.

Semantic Matchmaking as Non-Monotonic Reasoning: A Description Logic Approach
Matchmaking arises when supply and demand meet in an electronic marketplace, or when agents search for a web service to perform some task, or even when recruiting agencies match curricula and job profiles. In such open environments, the objective of a matchmaking process is to discover best available offers to a given request. We address the problem of matchmaking from a knowledge representatio...

We present a logic based approach to web services discovery and matchmaking in an e-commerce scenario. In particular, we describe our framework, based on Description Logics formalization and reasoning, and its deployment in a prototype, which overcomes simple subsumption matching of services descriptions and allows match ranking and services classification. We also present results of first expe...

There is an ongoing dispute in the Semantic Web Community about the usefulness of (Description) Logic as a basis for describing data on the web. While researchers in logic argue with the benefits of logic in terms of a clean semantics and richness of the language, criticism against the use of logic normally focusses on two points: its computational complexity and its inability to represent soft...
متن کاملDescription Logics Approach to Semantic Matching of Web Services
As more resources and services become available on the Web, there is a growing need for infrastructures that, based on advertised descriptions, semantically match in a peer-to-peer way providers with requesters of web services. We address the problem of matchmaking of web services from a knowledge representation perspective. Based on our approach we propose match categorization in terms of exac...
متن کاملSemantic Matchmaking via Non-Monotonic Reasoning: the MaMaS-tng Matchmaking Engine
In a semantic Web service (SWS) matchmaking process, given a request, it is obvious that not only a list of services should be returned, but also a ranking of compatible SWSs should be provided. Obviously having semantically annotated services, the ranking should be based evaluating semantic similarity between descriptions. Furthermore, the availability of such descriptions makes explanation of...
