“…Despite many recent works deal with the problem of modeling and inventorying e-services, both from the technical perspective (e.g., [9]) and from the formal one (i.e., [18]), the approaches proposed so far are not entirely satisfactory. Given a knowledge representation language (i.e., a Semantic Web language), it is always possible to build a classification model of available services (a so-called service ontology), but most of such kind of approaches (e.g., [15]) essentially ignore dynamic features. Several planning-based approaches (e.g., [13]) share with our framework the emphasis on the operational nature, but while these ones aim at verifying if the available services are sufficient to achieve a specific goal, we are essentially interested in the characterization of the suitability of a set of available services for a class of abstract goals, not only ground ones.…”

We propose a new framework for the analysis of functional properties of e-services supporting the development of Cooperative Information Systems. The framework aims at extending and integrating different approaches providing both a rich domain specification and a suitable operational semantics of the e-service contract, on which we define functional consistency properties. It allows for specifying complex e-services based on the IOPE paradigm, in which the static properties of the modeled system are specified using a Description Logic knowledge base, as assumed in Semantic Web applications. Moreover, it enforces a minimalchange semantics for the axiomatization of the update operator and also includes the ability to reason about update repairing w.r.t. the domain constraints, thus allowing for incomplete service specification. On this foundation, we formally devise several consistency and validity properties of services, providing decidable checking procedures.

“…A logical subsumes match assures the requester that her acceptable service instances are also acceptable to the provider: kb ∪ S ∪ R |= R S [5]. Prominent examples of monolithic logic-based matchmakers are RACER [13] and MaMaS 4 [14]. Alternatively, structured logic-based profile matching makes additional use of parameterized service descriptions provided by most semantic service description languages such as OWL-S, WSML and SAWSDL.…”

In this paper, we describe the first hybrid semantic Web service matchmaker for OWL-S services, called OWLS-MX. It complements crisp logic-based semantic matching of OWL-S services with token-based syntactic similarity measurements in case the former fails. The results of the experimental evaluation of OWLS-MX provide strong evidence for the claim that logic-based semantic matching of OWL-S services can be significantly improved by incorporating non-logic-based information retrieval techniques. An additional analysis of false positives and false negatives of the hybrid matching filters of OWLS-MX led to an even further improved matchmaker version called OWLS-MX2.

“…The latter introduces the mediator concept (Linche and Schmid, 1998) as an integrated catalogue to mediate the distributed catalogues through a merger called Q-Calculus (i.e., a common product description frame, which is a formal language for description and classification of objects). Modern automated mediation approach often applies technologies of multi-agent systems (e.g., Dani et al, 2007;Gates and Nissen, 2001) and ontology systems (e.g., w3.org/TR/owl-ref/) to construct an e-marketplace as a matchmaking system (e.g., Noia et al, 2003;Veit, 2004) or a brokering system (e.g., Antoniou et al, 2007;Du et al, 2004;Hämäläinen et al, 1996;Segev and Beam, 1999) between various e-business systems. However, mediation systems based on agent and ontology technologies have a serious problem such that the new system is still domain-wide and the activity inference must have fully supported rules, otherwise the semantic consistency cannot be maintained between heterogeneous systems.…”

Semantic integration is important in constructing electronic marketplaces (e-marketplaces). Although many previous researches have been done, the task of semantic integration and the mechanism of maintaining semantic consistency are still not well known. This paper proposes a Collaboration-Role-Based Semantic Integration Mechanism (CRB-SIM). It promotes collaboration as a key means of resolving semantic conflicts in concepts creation and editing, via a set of service-oriented collaboration roles. This proposal has contributed to the semantic integration research a novel approach with the features of the role-based and service-oriented semantic consistency maintenance of heterogeneous concepts. The applicability of proposed mechanism is exemplified by two application prototypes.
