Abstract

The evolution of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) has complicated the choice of the best service to the client who is facing a big number of offers. Given this multiplicity, the client becomes unable to distinguish between service offerings in order to select the best service among them especially when providers and customers don't share the same knowledge degree. In our research activities, we aim to help the client to select the most appropriate service provider according to his intentions by giving him the ability to freely express his requirements using his own knowledge. In this paper, we propose a novel semantic approach for service sourcing based on ontologies. We used a semantic matching step and we proposed a method to evaluate each provider's offer according to its appropriateness to the client's requirements in order to choose the best offer.
