Scalable Discovery of Linked Services.
Barry Norton, Steffen Stadtmüller · 2011
Abstract. Linked Services bring together the principles and technology which define Linked Data with those of RESTful services. Services and APIs are thus enriched by, and contribute to, the Web of Data. A number of approaches to the semantic description of services have chosen SPARQL graph patterns as a means to describe input and output expectations. This paper describes two contributions. Firstly, the extension of discovery mechanisms offered over such Linked Service descriptions for use at application design time. Secondly, the realisation of this discovery approach in a distributed fashion using the Hadoop implementation of MapReduce, and an evaluation using private cloud infrastructure. 1
