OWLS-CSM: A Service Profile Based Similarity Framework for Web Service Discovery
Abstract: This paper presents
OWLS-CSM framework, an OWL-S Service Profile based simlairity framework for web
service discovery in cloud environment. In the proposed framework, services arepresented
as advertisements; their concepts are semantically defined and described in a
hierarchalontology to facilitate service matchmaking. In matchmaking process
advertisements and query arerepresented as objects and three levels of
similarities are used, based on OWL-S Service Profile, to matching, namely
taxonomical similarity, functional similarity and non-functional similarity.
Milestone method is adopted in the matchmaking algorithm to match the concepts
according to their position in the hierarchal ontology. The results obtained
from OWLS-CSM are analyzed and compared with other similar works to prove and
evaluate the efficiency of our work.
Keywords: web service
