Interface Semantic Extension for Web Component Service Matching and Composition
Lei Liu, Zhijian Wang, Jianhong Chen, Liangming Li · 2008
Web services have become the prominent standards for distributed application. Extending from software component, web component is a new paradigm to support service-oriented software development and reuse in web environment. Web component aims at providing support to service-oriented development by enabling automatic discovery, composition, invocation and interoperation of services. Semantic support is the core enabling technology to realize web components. Ontology is an increasing widely used semantic technology in recent years, providing a common understanding of domain knowledge for both human and machines. In this paper, we present an approach for web component composition based on extended interface with ontology semantics. The algorithm for Web component composition is constructed. Service matching based on enhanced interface semantics improves the automatic composition capability of Web component.
