“…Semantics-based service handling approaches that make use of domain-specific ontologies for the description of services and data types can help in this regard by reducing the gap between the domain language of the user and the technical language of the service infrastructure. In this spirit, a number of approaches to semantics-based service discovery and composition in the scientific domain have been seen in the last years, such as the BioMoby web service registry [28,126,131], its successor SADI/SHARE [127,128,131], jOrca [48,84], the Wings semantic workflow system [35] that extends the Pegasus workflow system, ASKALON and also the Declarative Service Flow Language (DecSerFlow) [117].…”

The jABC is a framework for process modelling and execution according to the XMDD (eXtreme Model-Driven Design) paradigm, which advocates the rigorous use of user-level models in the software development process and software life cycle. We have used the jABC in the domain of scientific workflows for more than a decade now -an occasion to look back and take stock of our experiences in the field. On the one hand, we discuss results from the analysis of a sample of nearly 100 scientific workflow applications that have been implemented with the jABC. On the other hand, we reflect on our experiences and observations regarding the workflow development process with the framework. We then derive and discuss ongoing further developments and future perspectives for the framework, all with an emphasis on simplicity for end-users through increased domain specificity. Concretely, we describe how the use of the PROPHETS synthesis plugin can enable a semanticsbased simplification of the workflow design process, how with the jABC4 and DyWA frameworks more attention is paid to the ease of data management, and how the Cinco SCCE Meta Tooling Suite can be used to generate tailored workflow management tools.

“…SADI itself does not specify a directory, but assumes service URIs as valid reference points such that a directory could be applied on top of it. SADI has been employed in two well-known semantic knowledge management tools in the domain of bioinformatics, namely the IO Informatics Knowledge Explorer, and Taverna [66]. Moreover, a prototype semantic query system called SHARE (Semantic Health And Research Environment) [60] has been implemented based on SADI and the Pellet OWL-DL reasoner.…”

Scalable means for the search of relevant web services are essential for the development of intelligent service-based applications in the future Internet. Key idea of semantic web services is to enable such applications to perform a high-precision search and automated composition of services based on formal ontology-based representations of service semantics. In this paper, we briefly survey the state of the art of semantic web service search.

“…The entry-point is a SAWSDL Proxy servlet, in front of a web service provider, a semantic registry, and a schema mapping server. As a continuation of this initiative, the SADI project (Withers et al, 2010) proposes guidelines and best-practices to enhance semantic service discovery at workflow design time. Semantic services are indexed in the catalog through the new set of RDF properties describing the resulting new semantic features associated to input data.…”

Abstract:E-Science platforms leverage Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles to deliver large catalogs of data processing services and experiments description workflows. In spite of their growing success, the usability of these platforms is hampered by their catalogs size and the domain-specific knowledge needed to manipulate the services provided. Relying on domain ontologies and semantic services to enhance the understanding and usability of e-Science platforms, our contribution is twofold. First, we propose to delineate role concepts from natural concepts at domain ontology design time which leads to a neuroimaging role taxonomy, making explicit how neuroimaging datasets are related to the data analysis services. Then we propose to exploit, at workflow runtime, provenance information extended with these domain roles, to infer new meaningful semantic annotations. Platform semantic repositories are thus transparently populated, with newly inferred annotations, through the execution of e-Science workflows. A concrete example in the area of neurosciences illustrates the use of role concepts to create reusable inference rules.
