TLDR
A matching algorithm relying on the Vector-Space Model, WordNet and semantic similarity metrics for this purpose is presented and an experimental study to choose the most effective approach is provided.Abstract:
Web service technology allows access to advertised services despite of their location and implementation platform. However, considerable differences on structural, semantical and technical levels along with the growing number of available web services makes their discovery a significant challenge. Keyword-based matchmaking methods can help users to locate quickly the set of potentially useful services, but they are insufficient for automatic retrieval. On the other hand, the high cost of formal ontology-based methods alienates service designers from their use in practice. Several information retrieval approaches to assess the similarity of web services have been proposed. In this paper we proceed with such a study. In particular, we examine advantages of using Vector-Space Model, WordNet and semantic similarity metrics for this purpose. A matching algorithm relying on the above techniques is presented and an experimental study to choose the most effective approach is provided.read more

Clustering WSDL Documents to Bootstrap the Discovery of Web Services
TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel technique to mine Web Service Description Language (WSDL) documents and cluster them into functionally similar Web service groups, as a predecessor step to retrieving the relevant Web services for a user request by search engines.

Easy web service discovery: A query-by-example approach
TL;DR: A novel search method for Web services called WSQBE that aims at both easing query specification and assisting discoverers by returning a short and accurate list of candidate services, based on an automatic search space reduction mechanism.

Improving Web Service descriptions for effective service discovery
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of the retrieval effectiveness of three discovery systems by using the original body of Web Services versus their corrected version, and shows that the removal of the identified anti-patterns eases the discovery process by allowing the employed discovery systems to rank more relevant services before non-relevant ones, with the same queries.

A Survey of Approaches to Web Service Discovery in Service-Oriented Architectures
TL;DR: Eight criteria, based on the requirements for discovering services within common service-oriented environments, are proposed, allowing the characterization of discovery systems.

A Survey of Context Aware Web Service Discovery: From User's Perspective
Wenge Rong,Kecheng Liu +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents an overview of the field of context aware web service discovery and tries to classify current generation of those approaches into different categories and describes limitations of current context awareness in web service discovered and discusses possible applications that can enhance the overall discovery performance.

Modern Information Retrieval
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a rigorous and complete textbook for a first course on information retrieval from the computer science (as opposed to a user-centred) perspective, which provides an up-to-date student oriented treatment of the subject.

A survey of approaches to automatic schema matching
Erhard Rahm,Philip A. Bernstein +1 more
TL;DR: A taxonomy is presented that distinguishes between schema-level and instance-level, element- level and structure- level, and language-based and constraint-based matchers and is intended to be useful when comparing different approaches to schema matching, when developing a new match algorithm, and when implementing a schema matching component.

Similarity search for web services
TL;DR: Woogle supports similarity search for web services, such as finding similar web-service operations and finding operations that compose with a given one, and novel techniques to support these types of searches are described.
