Description

Abstract

With the emergence of Web services and the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), business

process components are more and more being decoupled. Using Web services in SOA creates a

wide network of services that collaborate in order to implement complex tasks. Currently, Web

services are commonly described via narrative Web pages containing information about their

operations in natural languages. These Web pages contain plain text with no machine interpretable

structure and therefore cannot be used by machines to automatically process the descriptive

information about a Web service. End-users do not need to have knowledge about semantic

languages, which makes it easy to express the desired semantic Web services. For matching

keywords with semantic Web service descriptions given in WSMO, techniques like part-of-speech

tagging, lemmatization, and word sense disambiguation are used.
