Deductive Web Services: An Ontology-Driven Approach for Service Interoperability in Life Science
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an ontology-driven approach to service composition with deductive databases. We formalize Web services as Deductive Web services (DWS) where the Extensional Service Base (ESB) stores all input and output signatures of services. The Intensional Service Base (ISB) corresponds to a set of deductive rules that express the semantics of the ESB captured by a domain ontology. We provide a framework for the composition of Web services represented as deductive Web services. In particular, we show that an approach that combines schema mapping and deductive databases can provide the missing link in service composition to implement scientific workflows.

Ontology Modelling for Semantic Web-driven Application
The paper describes a bottom-up approach of ontology modeling to support easy prototyping of n-tier system, which combines legacy software components and web services. The created ontologies and web service prototypes were practically implemented in an n-tier intercontinental tracking system that enables data and application interoperability.
متن کاملOntology-based Semantic Service Interoperability
Enterprise interoperability in distributed environments has been recently improved by adopting the emerging Web Service standards and technology, making an ever-growing number of services available on the web. One of the major problems in this framework is how to make effective and efficient the process of matching service descriptions in order to find suitable available services for a given se...
متن کاملOntology Transformation and Reasoning for Model-Driven Architecture
Model-driven Architecture (MDA) is a software architecture framework proposed by the Object Management Group OMG. MDA emphasises the importance of modelling in the architectural design of service-based software systems. Ontologies can enhance the modelling aspects here. We present ontology-based transformation and reasoning techniques for a layered, MDA-based modelling approach. Different ontol...

Model-driven development is a software development framework that emphasises modelbased abstraction and automated code generation. Service-based software architectures benefit in particular from semantic, ontology-based modelling. We present ontology-based transformation and reasoning techniques for layered semantic service architecture modelling. Integrated ontological layers support abstract ...
متن کاملA semantic web service-based architecture for the interoperability of e-government services
We propose a semantically-enhanced architecture to address the issues of interoperability and service integration in e-government web information systems. An architecture for a life event portal based on Semantic Web Services (SWS) is described. The architecture includes loosely-coupled modules organized in three distinct layers: User Interaction, Middleware and Web Services. The Middleware pro...
