Towards an Ontology-enabled Service-Oriented Architecture
نویسنده
چکیده
In the field of Semantic Web Services (SWS), the OWL-S and WSMF approaches provide us with ontology-based frameworks for WSDL web services. These description frameworks enable automation of high-level tasks such as discovery, invocation and composition of web services. In our work we focus on the software architectural aspects of ontology-enabled services to define an Ontologyenabled Service-Oriented Architectural style (Onto-SOA). The proposed style provides for a general integration mechanism for ontologies and SOA in a manner consistent with the SOA constraints. Onto-SOA is independent from an ontology language and a particular web service technology. Therefore, it can be easily combined with other styles to devise software architectures for existing SWS frameworks as well as novel approaches to integration of ontologies and SOA.

Ontology-enabled Documentation of Service-oriented Architectures with Ontobrowse Semantic Wiki
Documenting and maintaining an enterprise-wide service-oriented architecture (SOA) causes a substantial management effort, which should be addressed by intelligent, scalable solutions. A particular challenge is that business experts, developers, and software architects take different perspectives on a SOA, each favoring various description formats and sources, which leads towards a scattering o...
متن کاملService Composition in Ontology enabled Service Oriented Architecture for Pervasive Computing
One important issue in Pervasive Computing is how to assist non-expert users to use devices and even to combine their functionality without explicit goals. In this paper, we present an Ontology enabled Service Oriented Architecture (OSOA), which combines interoperability provided by Web services and semantic description provided by Ontologies, to solve this issue. We argue that ad-hoc service c...

متن کاملDevelopment of a framework to evaluate service-oriented architecture governance using COBIT approach
Nowadays organizations require an effective governance framework for their service-oriented architecture (SOA) in order to enable them to use a framework to evaluate their current state governance and determine the governance requirements, and then to offer a suitable model for their governance. Various frameworks have been developed to evaluate the SOA governance. In this paper, a brief introd...
