Web Services
Web Services: [Stencil Group]• loosely coupled, reusable components• encapsulate discrete functionality • distributed • programmatically accessible over standard
internet protocols• add new level of functionality on top of the
current web

Lack of SWS standards
Current technology does not allow realization of any of the parts of the Web Service usage process:
• Only syntactical standards available• Lack of fully developed semantic markup languages• Lack of semantically marked up content and services• Lack of semantically enhanced repositories• Lack of frameworks that facilitate discovery,
composition and execution• Lack of tools and platforms that allow to semantically
enrich current Web content
![Page 22: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Semantic Web Services
• Define exhaustive description frameworks for describing Web Services and related aspects (Web Service Description Ontologies)
• Support ontologies as underlying data model to allow machine supported data interpretation (Semantic Web aspect)
• Define semantically driven technologies for automation of the Web Service usage process (Web Service aspect)
![Page 23: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Semantic Web Services (2)
Usage Process:
• Publication: Make available the description of the capabilities of a service
• Discovery: Locate different services suitable for a given task • Selection: Choose the most appropriate services among the
available ones • Composition: Combine services to achieve a goal• Mediation: Solve mismatches (in data or process) among the
combined services• Execution: Invoke services following programmatic
conventions
![Page 24: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Semantic Web Services (3)
Usage Process – execution support
• Monitoring: Control the execution process• Compensation: Provide transactional support and undo
or mitigate unwanted effects• Replacement: Facilitate the substitution of services by
equivalent ones• Auditing: Verify that service execution occurred in the
expected way

Ontology Usage & Principles• Ontologies are used as the ‘data model’ throughout WSMO
– all WSMO element descriptions rely on ontologies – all data interchanged in Web Service usage are ontologies – Semantic information processing & ontology reasoning
• WSMO Ontology Language WSML– conceptual syntax for describing WSMO elements – logical language for axiomatic expressions (WSML Layering)
• WSMO Ontology Design– Modularization: import / re-using ontologies, modular approach
for ontology design – De-Coupling: heterogeneity handled by OO Mediators

Ontology Specification
• Non functional properties (see before)• Imported Ontologies importing existing ontologies
where no heterogeneities arise• Used mediators OO Mediators (ontology import with
terminology mismatch handling)
Ontology Elements:Concepts set of concepts that belong to the ontology, incl.Attributes set of attributes that belong to a conceptRelations define interrelations between several conceptsFunctions special type of relation (unary range = return value) Instances set of instances that belong to the represented ontologyAxioms axiomatic expressions in ontology (logical statement)

Capability Specification
• Non functional properties • Imported Ontologies • Used mediators
– OO Mediator: importing ontologies with mismatch resolution – WG Mediator: link to a Goal wherefore service is not usable a priori
• Pre-conditions What a web service expects in order to be able to provide its service. They define conditions over the input.
• Assumptions Conditions on the state of the world that has to hold before the Web Service can be executed
• Post-conditions describes the result of the Web Service in relation to the input, and conditions on it
• Effects Conditions on the state of the world that hold after execution of the Web Service (i.e. changes in the state of the world)

• External Visible Behavior– those aspects of the workflow of a Web Service where Interaction is required – described by workflow constructs: sequence, split, loop, parallel
• Communication Structure– messages sent and received – their order (communicative behavior for service consumption) – choreography related errors (e.g. input wrong, message timeout, etc.)
• Grounding – concrete communication technology for interaction
• Formal Model – reasoning on Web Service interfaces (service interoperability)– allow mediation support on Web Service interfaces

Orchestration Aspects• Service interfaces are concerned with service
consumption and interaction • Choreography and Orchestration as sub-concepts of
Service Interface • Common requirements for service interface description:
1. represent the dynamics of information interchange during service consumption and interaction
2. support ontologies as the underlying data model 3. appropriate communication technology for information
interchange4. sound formal model / semantics of service interface
specifications in order to allow operations on them.

Ontologies as data model:- every resource description based on ontologies - every data element interchanged is ontology instance
Formal description of service interfaces:- ASM-based approach - allows reasoning & mediation
workflow constructs as basis for describing service interfaces:- workflow based process models for describing behavior - on basis of generic workflow constructs (e.g. van der Aalst)
Choreography:- interaction of services / service and client - a „choreography interface“ describes the behavior of aWeb Service for client-service interaction for consuming the service
Orchestration:- how the functionality of a Web Service is achieved by aggregating other Web Services
- extends Choreography descriptions by control & data flow constructs between orchestrating WS and orchestrated WSs.
Grounding:- making service interfaces executable - currently grounding to WSDL
Conceptual models
User language- based on UML2 activity diagrams - graphical Tool for Editing & Browsing Service Interface Description

Goals• Ontological De-coupling of Requester and Provider
• Goal-driven Approach, derived from AI rational agent approach– Requester formulates objective independently – ‘Intelligent’ mechanisms detect suitable services for solving the
Goal– allows re-use of Services for different purposes
• Usage of Goals within Semantic Web Services– A Requester, that is an agent (human or machine), defines a Goal
to be resolved – Web Service Discovery detects suitable Web Services for solving
the Goal automatically – Goal Resolution Management is realized in implementations

Goal Specification• Non functional properties • Imported Ontologies• Used mediators
– OO Mediators: importing ontologies with heterogeneity resolution – GG Mediator:
• Goal definition by reusing an already existing goal• allows definition of Goal Ontologies
• Requested Capability – describes service functionality expected to resolve the objective – defined as capability description from the requester perspective
• Requested Interface – describes communication behaviour supported by the requester for
consuming a Web Service (Choreography) – Restrictions / preferences on orchestrations of acceptable Web
Services

Mediation
• Heterogeneity …– Mismatches on structural / semantic / conceptual / level – Occur between different components that shall interoperate– Especially in distributed & open environments like the Internet
• Concept of Mediation (Wiederhold, 94): – Mediators as components that resolve mismatches– Declarative Approach:
• Semantic description of resources • ‘Intelligent’ mechanisms that resolve mismatches independent of content
– Mediation cannot be fully automated (integration decision)• Levels of Mediation within Semantic Web Services (WSMF):
(1) Data Level: mediate heterogeneous Data Sources (2) Protocol Level: mediate heterogeneous Communication Patterns (3) Process Level: mediate heterogeneous Business Processes

GG Mediators• Aim:
– Support specification of Goals by re-using existing Goals – Allow definition of Goal Ontologies (collection of pre-defined
Goals)– Terminology mismatches handled by OO Mediators
• Example: Goal Refinement

• WG Mediators:– link a Web Service to a Goal and resolve occurring mismatches – match Web Service and Goals that do not match a priori– handle terminology mismatches between Web Services and Goals⇒ broader range of Goals solvable by a Web Service
• WW Mediators:– enable interoperability of heterogeneous Web Services⇒ support automated collaboration between Web Services
– OO Mediators for terminology import with data level mediation– Protocol Mediation for establishing valid multi-party collaborations– Process Mediation for making Business Processes interoperable

Web Service Modeling Language (WSML)
• Aim – to provide a language (or a set of interoperable languages) for representing the elements of WSMO:– Ontologies, Web services, Goals, Mediators
• WSML provides a formal language for the conceptual elements of WSMO, based on:– Description Logics– Logic Programming– First-Order Logic– Frame Logic
![Page 54: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
Rationale of WSML• Provide a Web Service Modeling Language based
on the WSMO conceptual model– Concrete syntax– Semantics
• Provide a Rule Language for the Semantic Web• Many current Semantic Web languages have
– undesirable computational properties– unintuitive conceptual modeling features– inappropriate language layering
• RDFS/OWL• OWL Lite/DL/Full• OWL/SWRL

56
WSML-Core• Basic interoperability layer between Description Logics and
Logic Programming paradigms• Based on Description Logic Programs
– Expressive intersection of Description Logic SHIQ and Datalog
– Allows to take advantage of many years of established research in Databases and Logic Programming
– Allows reuse of existing efficient Deductive Database and Logic programming reasoners
• Some limitations in conceptual modeling of Ontologies– No cardinality constraints– Only “inferring” range of attributes– No meta-modeling
![Page 57: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
WSML-DL• Extension of WSML-Core• Based on the Description Logic SHIQ
– Entailment is decidable– Close to DL species of Web Ontology Language OWL– Many efficient subsumption reasoners
• Some limitations in conceptual modeling of Ontologies– No cardinality constraints– Only “inferring” range of attributes– No meta-modeling
• Limitations in logical expressions– From Logic Programming point-of-view, there is a lack of:
• N-ary predicates• Chaining variables over predicates• (Default) negation

WSML Syntax• WSML human-readable syntax• WSML exchange syntaxes:
– XML syntax:• Syntax for exchange over the Web• Translation between human-readable and XML
syntax• XML Schema for WSML has been defined
– RDF syntax:• Interoperability with RDF applications• Maximal reuse of RDF and RDFS vocabulary• WSML RDF includes most of RDF• Translation between human-readable and RDF
syntax• For logical expressions, XML literals are used

64
Web Service vs. Service• Notions of Web Service & Service are often interpreted in various
ways in the literature• We use the following terminology & interpretation here
– Service• A provision of value in some domain (not necessarily monetary,
independent of how service provider and requestor interact)– Web Service
• Computational entity accessible over the Internet (using Web Service Standards & Protocols), provides access to (concrete) services for the clients.
• Thus, we have the following relation between the notions:– Service corresponds to a concrete execution of a Web service
(with given input values)– Web Service provides a set of services to its client; one service
for each possible input value tuple
![Page 65: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
Automated WS discovery
• The task– Identify possible web services W which are able to provide the
requested service S for ist clients• An important issue …
– „being able to provide a service“ has to be determined based on given descriptions only (WS, Goal, Ontos)
– Discovery can only be as good as these descriptions• Very detailed WS descriptions: are precise, enable highly
accurate results, are more difficult to provide; in general, requires interaction with the provider (outside the pure logics framework)
• Less detailed WS descriptions: are easy to provide for humans, but usually less precise and provide less accurate results

Descriptions and Discovery (I)
• We aim at supporting a wide-variety of clients and applications– Support different description techniques for clients– Support a wide-variety of applications wrt. needed accuracy– Main focus here: Capability – What does the service deliver?
• Basic possiblities for the description of web services:– Syntactic approaches
• Keyword-based search, natural language processing techniques, Controlled vocabularies
– Lightweight semantic approaches• Ontologies, What does W provide (not how)?, Action-Object-
Modelling, Coarse-grained semantic description of a service– Heavyweight semantic approaches
• Describes the service capability in detail, Pre/Post-Cond, takes „in-out“ relationship into account, Fine-grained web service description

“Lightweight” descriptions and discovery
• Service providing a value in some domain:– Goal describes the desired post
state as a set of objects– Service describes the state after its
execution• Intentions:
– Describe if the Requester/Provider requests/provides all objects or just one of the objects in the set

WSMO Discovery Process (I)
• Distinguish further between – Web Service Discovery– Service Discovery
• Web Service Discovery– No interaction with the provider, matches are only based on static
capability descriptions– Matching is less accurate (we can only return web services which might
be able to deliver a requested service)– Possibly ignore preconditions and inputs in service capabilites– Most likely with abstract capabilities
• Service Discovery– Interaction with the provider with concrete input from user (dynamic
capabilities)– Only with heavyweight descriptions of service capabilities possible (Input
has to be considered)!– Matching is can be as accurate as possible– The more interaction, the less efficient becomes checking a match

WSMO Grounding• Motivation
– It’s a WSDL and XML Schema world• Background
– XML, XML Schema, what’s been done before• Approaches to data grounding
– Three possible approaches, one chosen• Creating the mappings
– Methodology, identifying mappings, next steps• Grounding WSMO Choreography

79
Motivation
• Web services being created and deployed now and for the next few years will be described using WSDL and XML Schema
• Want to define the mechanism for how WSMO service descriptions can be grounded to WSDL – Ground WSMO ontologies to XML Schema– Ground WSMO choreography descriptions to WSDL
operations

80
Background – XML• Standard language for sharing data across systems,
especially on the Web• Application-dependent tag set great flexibility• Many XML based languages for all kinds of purposes• Strong tool support: parsers, editors, storage, querying
• Semantics must be known by receiver in advance; can not be determined from the document itself

81
Background – XML Schema• Defines the structure of XML documents
– Legal elements and attributes– Order, cardinalities of child elements– Default and fixed values for elements and attributes
• Components of XML Schema– Element declarations (global or local)– Attribute declarations (global or local)– Simple types
• Built-in or defining constraints on values of built-in types– Complex types
• For elements• Define attributes, child elements• Extend or restrict definition of an existing complex type

82
Background – Previous WorkComparing XML schema languages (DTD, XS) to Ontologies
Meaning, no explicit structureStructure
Formal specification of shared domain theory
Define vocabulary and constraints for XML docs
OntologiesXML schema language
• Embedding semantic metadata into XML– Complement structure with semantics
• Lifting XML representation to OWL and RDF– We will take a similar approach
• Lowering ontologies to XML schema– More expressive to less expressive

Approaches to Mapping
![Page 84: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
84
Approach to Mapping #1
• Transformation between XML as defined in WSDL and the XML syntax for a target WSMO ontology– Using XSLT or other XML transformation language
• Advantage– People already know XSLT
• Disadvantage– XML syntax of WSML does not reflect data structure, the
XSLT becomes complex
![Page 85: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
85
Approach to Mapping #2
• Map directly between XML and WSML instances– Using a mapping language specific for this task
• Advantage– Specific language most natural (optimized for this)
• Disadvantage– Yet another mapping language
![Page 86: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
86
Approach to Mapping #3 • Create WSMO Ontology from Schema in WSDL
– Define mappings from conceptual framework for XML Schema to WSMO Ontology metamodel
– Generate ontology– Create set of executable mapping rules for data
instances
• Advantages– Uses WSMO data mediation– In simplest case no manually-created mapping required
• Disadvantage– Ontology-level mapping may be complex

88
Creating the Mappings Explained• Define a mapping between the XML Schema
Conceptual Model to the WSMO Ontology Metamodel
• Automatically create a WSMO ontology from specific XML Schema
• Create the bidirectional mappings rules to be used for the transformation between XML instances and WSMO instances.– Created at the same time as the generation of the
WSMO ontology from an XML Schema– These mapping are completely derived from the actions
described in the first two bullet points
![Page 89: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)

Creating the Mappings Example Scenario
• Semantic service description designer with task of providing a description for the Amazon service
• Only consider in terms of data grounding• Two scenario use cases
– No mediation required– Mediation required

90
Creating the Mappings: Use Case 1
• The generated ontology is sufficient for designer’s needs• Mapping rules to get from instances of WSMO to
instances of XML and vice-versa are created automatically
![Page 91: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
91
Creating the Mappings: Use Case 2
• Designer wishes to use a specific book ontology• Generated ontology + rules created as before• Additional data mediation needs to be defined
(using existing ontology mapping tools)

Some Discussion Points & Next Steps
• XSLT is powerful but does not take account of semantics
• Conceptual mapping offers better opportunity for reuse
• Todos– Formalising the mappings – Extending the mappings– Definition of how the mappings should be
executed

Grounding WSMO Choreography• Choreography representation in WSMO
– States (made up of concepts) and transitions• Concept modes
– Some concepts represent in or out messages– In, out, shared
• Grounding property– Specifies a set of URIs grounding that concept– URIs point to WSDL In, Out or Fault messages
• URIs for identifying messages in WSDL 2.0
http://example.com/#wsdl.interfaceMessageReference(PrinterInterface/print/In)
• WSDL WSMO – manual (with tool support)• WSMO WSDL – auto generation of WSDL
– In case WSDL doesn’t exist yet

95
WSMO Grounding – Summary
• Links from WSMO to the WSDL and XML Schema world
• Needed to describe an existing WSDL service• Three steps in approach
– Define mappings from metamodel of XML Schema to that of WSMO
– Use the mappings to generate WSMO ontologies– Also generate mapping rules that can be applied at
runtime to lift and lower data instances
• Simple scenarios need no data mediation• Choreography grounded to WSDL messages
– Can go to underlying space instead

Part I – summary and conclusions
• WSMO - a conceptual model for SWS and a basis for SWS languages and SWS execution environments; More needs to be done with respect to Web service behavior modeling
• WSML is a language for modeling of Semantic Web Services; based on the WSMO; WSML is a Web language:
– IRIs for object identification– XML datatypes
• WSML is based on well-known logical formalisms: Description Logics, Logic Programming, and Frame Logic
• WSML - syntax has two parts:– Conceptual modeling– Arbitrary logical expressions
• WSML - XML and RDF syntaxes for exchange over the Web• WSMO Discovery – a framework for SWS Discovery• WSMO Grounding – top-down approach meets the bottom-up real world; under
development

WSMX Introduction
• Software framework for runtime binding of service requesters and service providers
• WSMX interprets service requester’s goal to– discover matching services– select (if desired) the service that best fits– provide mediation (if required)– make the service invocation
• Is based on the conceptual model provided by WSMO• Has a formal execution semantics• SO and event-based architecture based on microkernel
design using technologies as J2EE, Hibernate, Spring, JMX, etc.
![Page 101: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
101
WSMX Motivation
• Provide middleware ‘glue’ for Semantic Web Services– Allow service providers focus on their business
• Provide a reference implementation for WSMO– Eat our own cake
• Provide an environment for goal based service discovery and invocation– Run-time binding of service requester and provider
• Provide a flexible Service Oriented Architecture– Add, update, remove components at run-time as needed
• Keep open-source to encourage participation– Developers are free to use in their own code
• Define formal execution semantics– Unambiguous model of system behaviour

Benefits of SOA
• Better reuse– Build new functionality (new execution
semantics) on top of existing Business Services• Well defined interfaces
– Manage changes without affecting the Core System
• Easier Maintainability– Changes/Versions are not all-or-nothing
• Better Flexibility

109
Service Oriented State
• The interface to the service is implementation-independent
• The service can be dynamically invoked – Runtime binding
• The service is self-contained– Maintains its own state

113
Adapters
• To overcome data representation mismatches on the communication layer
• Transforms the format of a received message into WSML compliant format
• Based on mapping rules
![Page 114: ICIW 2006, Guadeloupe · 2006. 3. 24. · 4 But first a few words about us… • We are members of: – Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) (at Open University) – Conversational Hypermedia,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051823/5fed503083e94667f7459cfc/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
114
Parser
• WSML compliant parser– Code handed over to wsmo4j initiative
http://wsmo4j.sourceforge.net/• Validates WSML description files• Compiles WSML description into internal
memory model• Stores WSML description persistently
(using Resource Manager)

115
Communication Mgr – Invoker
• WSMX uses – The SOAP implementation from Apache AXIS – The Apache Web Service Invocation Framework (WSIF)
• WSMO service descriptions are grounded to WSDL• Both RPC and Document style invocations possible• Input parameters for the Web Services are translated from WSML
to XML using an additional XML Converter component.

116
Choreography
• Requester and provider have their own observable communication patterns– Choreography part of WSMO
• A choreography instance is loaded for each – Both requester and provider have their own WSMO
descriptions• The Choreography component examines a service’s
choreography to determine next step in communication• The Choreography component raises events for the
Invoker to make actual service invocations

117
Process Mediator
• Requester and provider have their own communication patterns
• Only if the two match precisely, a direct communication may take place
• At design time equivalences between the choreographies’ conceptual descriptions is determined and stored as set of rules
• The Process Mediator provides the means for runtime analyses of two choreography instances and uses mediators to compensate possible mismatches

IRS-III/WSMO differences
• Underlying language OCML• Goals have inputs and outputs• IRS-III broker finds applicable Web
Services via Mediators– Used mediator within WS capability – Mediator source = Goal
• Web Services have inputs and outputs ‘inherited’ from goal descriptions
• Web Service selected via assumption (in capability)

Requirements for an ISE• Modular design
– Different users need to customise the functionality in a specific way
– Easier to maintain (e.g. ship new versions and bugfixes)– More suitable for 3rd party contributions
• Extensibility– SWS is an emerging domain– It is difficult to specify requirements and functionality
affront• Architecture based on open standards
– Lowers the cost of adopting / integrating a tool– 3rd party extensions and improvements are more likely to
occur• Flexible licensing
– An Open Source licence improves the adoption rate

WSMT
• The Web Services Modeling Toolkit (WSMT) is a collection of tools for Semantic Web services implemented in the Eclipse framework.
• Three different collections of tools:– WSML Perspective for creating and managing
WSML descriptions– Data Mediation Perspective for creating mappings
that can be used for runtime instance transformation
– WSMX Perspective for managing and monitoring the Web Service Execution Environent (WSMX)

SWS Creation & Usage Steps1. Create a Goal description
• Define capability• Define pre- and post-conditions
2. Create a WG-Mediator description • Source = goal• Possibly add a mediation service
3. Create a Web Service description• Used-mediator = WG-Mediator above
4. Import and add Lisp function (or SOAP endpoint etc.) in Choreography Grounding
5. Publish against Web Service description6. Invoke Web Service by ‘achieve goal’

169
Multiple WS for goal
• Each Web Service has a WG-Mediator in used-mediator slot– some Web Services may share a Mediator
• Each Web Service carries Assumptionsover its inputs– in IRS these are defined in OCML
• Web Service chosen for Goal according to these Assumptions =
Capability-Driven Invocation

170
Defining a Mediation Service
• Mediation Goal defines necessary transformation between Goal and Service– Mediation Goal input roles are a subset of
Goal’s input roles• WG-Mediator has Mediation Goal as source• Mediation Service uses this mediator• WG-Mediator linking Goal and its Service
has Mediation Goal in ‘uses mediation service’ slot

IRS-III Hands On Task• Develop an application for the European Travel scenario based on
SWS. The application should support a person booking a train ticket between 2 European cities at a specific time and date
• Create Goal, Web service and Mediator WSMO descriptions in WSMO Studio
• Import definitions into IRS-III ‘european-travel-service-descriptions’ontology
• In IRS Browser ground (to Lisp functions) and add (OCML) assumptions to services, then deploy.
• Invoke the web services

Tutorial Wrap-up
• The targets of the presented tutorial were to:– understand aims & challenges within Semantic Web Services – understand WSMO approach to Semantic Web Services
• WSML• WSMO Discovery• WSMO Grounding
– present WSMX and IRS - future Web Service based IT middlewares
• design and architecture • components design
=> you should now be able to correctly assess WSMO technologies and utilize these for your future work

Beyond WSMO
• Although WSMO is one of the main initiatives on Semantic Web services, there are also other initiatives in the area: OWL-S, SWSL, WSDL-S
• Semantic Web Services Interest Group– Interest group founded at W3C to discuss issues related to
Semantic Web Services (http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/swsig/) – Standardization Working Group in starting phase
• SWSI: International initiative to push toward a standardization of SWS (http://www.swsi.org)
• Semantic Web services are entering the main stream– UDDI is adopting OWL for semantic search– WSDL 2 will contain a mapping to RDF– The use of semantics is also discussed in the context of
standards for WS Policies

SWSI (www.swsi.org)
• SWSI (Semantic Web Services Initiative) is becoming the point of synthesis of the SWS activity around the World
• SWSI includes many participants belonging to both academy and industry from the US and Europe
• SWSI is composed of two committees– SWSL which is expected to produce a language for
Semantic Web services– SWSA which is expected to describe the architectural
requirements for Semantic Web services• OWL-S and WSMO are two main inputs, but contributions
include IRS, Meteor-S

Semantics in the Main Stream
• Many WS standardization groups are realizing that they need to add semantic representation
• UDDI v.next– UDDI v.next is the new version of UDDI– UDDI TC has decided to use OWL as a standard language for the
representation of business taxonomies – OWL-based inference will be used to improve WS search
• Web Service Description Language v2– The WSDL working group at W3C has decided to add an RDF mapping
to WSDL 2– The RDF mapping may effectively provide a standard grounding
mechanism for OWL-S and WSMO• Web Services policies proposals require a significant amount of inference
– There have been proposals to use OWL or SWRL as basic languages– Or to provide a mapping to semantic Web languages
