Abstract

With the development of web technology and e-business, the Web Services paradigm has been widely accepted by industry and academic research. More and more web applications have been wrapped as web services, which triggers the change of research focus from finding and integrating them to maximizing reuse. Usually a service requestor retrieves (web) service advertisements out of a UDDI registry based on keywords, like in search engines, which inevitably brings the difficulty of discovering the most appropriate service from a massive number of existing services. This paper briefly introduces a new mechanism to discover and match services in a more fine-grained manner by taking advantage of UDDI and OWL-S. UDDI is used to discover approximate services syntactically by adding new elements and an API. OWL-S is used to match the exact service semantically using ontologies and inference. Finally this paper draws out a framework for discovering and invoking services dynamically.
