A comparative evaluation of semantic web service discovery approaches

Published: 08 November 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Currently, most enterprises deploy their services on the Web. This augments the request for tools to perform discovery, selection, composition and invocation of Web services. Among them, Web service discovery should be considered more important. Along with the growing number of available Web services, there is a need for tools not only to perform discovery, but also to realize them in an efficient and effective manner. A number of approaches to Web service discovery have been proposed. In this paper, we provide a taxonomy which categorizes Web service discovery systems from different points of view. Moreover, current approaches to Semantic Web service discovery are classified and described. In addition, we compare the approaches with respect to some criteria from different aspects of view. The results of this study can help researchers in both academia and industry to implement a new or to select the most appropriate existing approach for Semantic Web service discovery with the aid of different criteria.
