Abstract

This paper presents the Web Service (WS)-Talk interface Layer, a structured natural language interface for the inter-service communication that extends the “find, bind, and execute” paradigm of the web service interaction. This “open building block” can be implemented by both the service designers who as providers are more concerned with the architecture of the underlying service model and the service requesters who as users will seek to specify web services as solutions to specific problems. Through a semantic layer, WS-Talk transforms service descriptions or requests which have been expressed in natural language into task-specific web serviced specifications. Whilst the objective of bringing together the service providers with relevant taskcompetent end-users in the architectural design of web service applications is, on the one hand, to build connected interoperable applications, on the other hand, the WS-Talk Layer enables service requesters and providers to design and implement ad-hoc new services or fine-tune existing ones.
