Abstract

We present a deductive approach that supports resource discovery. The BiOnMap Web service is designed to support the selection of resources suitable to implement specific tasks. The BiOnMap service is comprised of a metadata catalog and a reasoning engine. The metadata catalog uses domain ontologies to annotate resources semantically and express domain rules that capture path equivalences at the level of the ontology graph. The BiOnMap reasoning engine is able to infer new properties of services to support service discovery, composition, and mapping. We illustrate our approach with an application case from the domain of bioinformatics.
