MRD: A Mashup Resource Discovery Approach Applying Semantics Indexing

The mashup is a hot research topic in recent years. In this paper, we propose an efficient Mashup Resource Discovery(MRD) approach to facilitating mashup searching. Basing on an index library, MRD acts high performance in response time. By an external ontology base and a synonym base, we apply a semantics discovery, avoiding semantics annotation in mashup description files. By evaluating the prestige of mashups(especially for mashup api), we rank the results and make mashups with high prestige get higher ranking. The experimental evaluation shows that our MRD act high performance both in time consuming and r-p curve statistics.
