Semantic-based clustering of web services
Leonardo De Jesus Silva, Daniela Barreiro Claro, Denivaldo Lopes · Journal of Web Engineering · 2015
The interoperability needed for the exchange of information between organizations is currently obtained through Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Through the implementation of Web services, components can be described in a consistent and standardized way. However, there is a high number of published Web services, it is important to have some organization in order to determine specific areas of these services. Thus, our approach proposes creating semantically similar domains of Web services by applying clustering algorithms. Two clustering algorithms were adapted and evaluated. Each cluster was validated in order to analyze whether the Web services were grouped correctly. Our results evaluated each group and the set of categorized services.
