A survey of semantic web concepts applied in web services and big data

Abstract

Semantic means adding meaning and understanding. Applying semantic web concepts to web services produces semantic web services. These combined type of services transfer web services from such static functionalities to more intelligent components that can be processed and interpreted automatically on machines without human intervention. Applying semantic web to web data produces Linked Data. This data allows the reuse, share and linking between different sources of data easily and in a standard manner. In this paper, we discuss how semantic web concepts are applied on both web services and web data.

Supporting Enterprise Integration with a Multidimensional Interoperability Framework

“…• The Connective category is usually dealt with empirically, by assuming some protocol, such as HTTP or SOAP; • Syntactic is the most used category, because it is the simplest and most familiar, with interfaces that deal mainly with syntax or primitive semantics, using data description languages such as XML and JSON; • The Semantic category, given the increasing relevance of the Semantic Web (Rezk & Foufou, 2014), is beginning to be explicitly addressed with semantic annotations and languages, based either on XML or JSON, but it is still largely subject to tacit assumptions, for example regarding XML's namespaces or predefined media types; • The Pragmatic category is usually considered at the documentation level only, with many tacit assumptions, or implemented by software without formal specification. Choreography specifications and tools to verify them are seldom used; • The Symbiotic category is considered only in very complex EIS (such as enterprises) and in the conceptual stages of the lifecycle, again at the documentation level only.…”
