An Ontology-Based Approach for Linguistic Web Service Description

Semantic-based approach to improve the description and the discovery of Linguistic Web Services

“…Fig. 5 shows a part of our domain ontology (Baklouti et al, 2012b) which deals with the nonfunctional linguistic properties. Our matching algorithm uses this part to determine the suitable services for the request 'R' (cf.…”

“…Indeed, for each service 'S', the CANDIDATES FORM function is called in order to return back the matching degree of the service 'Formalism' versus the request 'Formalism'. The assignment of a matching degree is the result of a classification of the 'Formalism' concepts using the domain ontology already proposed in Baklouti et al (2012b). In this example, we first applied the CANDIDATES FORM function, then we chose the logic based OWLS-M0 filter ).…”

“…Nevertheless, they did not offer the possibility to represent all the linguistic features. In fact, the LingWS's are characterized by several features called nonfunctional linguistic properties which are already discussed in previous works (Baklouti et al, 2012a(Baklouti et al, , 2012b. The LingWS description should cover all these properties and their interrelationships like the treatment type (analysis and/or generation), the used formalism (e.g., contextual grammar, unification grammar), the processing level (e.g., morphological, syntactic, semantic), and so on.…”

OWL-LingS Editor - A Tool for Semantic Description of Linguistic Web Services

“…We present in this section an overview of the OWL-S extension which is already detailed in our previous contributions (Baklouti et al, 2012a) and (Baklouti et al, 2012b). In fact, we start with presenting some non-functional linguistic properties, then we focus on how to integrate these properties within the OWL-S semantic approach.…”

“…In this paper, we propose a new tool which is able to semantically describe the LingWS. This tool is based on an extension of OWL-S which is already presented in our previous works (Baklouti et al, 2012a) and (Baklouti et al, 2012b).…”
