Discovery and Composition of Link Open Data based RESTful Web services
Kirit J. Modi, Sanjay Kumar Garg · 2015
Web services are now widely utilized which demands to perform the discovery and composition process to meet the user request. By considering services as the base, an architectural model has been provided by Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). These web services are also known as traditional web services or SOAP web services. These web services increases overhead of XML processing at description and communication phase which could be resolved by REST (Representation State Transfer) architecture based web services which are defined as RESTful web services. The RESTful service discovery is performed to find services for a given user request while RESTful service composition defines service integration when single service is unable to serve the user request. RESTful service composition does not depend on either a central conductor service like a service orchestration or a service choreography specification, which makes it more demanding compared to traditional web services. As a result, we have proposed a REST-based approach for services discovery and composition along with experimental work to show the performance.
