From web services annotation and composition to web services domain analysis
Peep Küngas, Mihhail Matskin · International Journal of Metadata Semantics and Ontologies · 2007
Automated web service annotation and composition are seen as complimentary technologies. While automated annotation allows to extract web service semantics from existing WSDL documents, automated composition uses this semantics for integrating applications. Anyway, automated composition can be applied not only to constructing new but also to analysis of existent web services. Therefore applicability of both methodologies is essential for increasing the productivity of information system integration. In this paper we propose application of automated composition for analysing web services domains. We identify and analyse some general web services properties in the context of industrial and public web services.
