ModelingWeb Services Policy with Corporate Knowledge

Web services policy is used to specify service constraints. Although many efforts like WS-policy have been done to provide declarative configuration languages, it is still hard to discover and exchange the configuration information in the service computing environment. A novel approach to share service knowledge and application-specific information is needed. In this paper, we model Web service policy with corporate knowledge, which is defined as the amount of knowledge provided by individual agents. This approach provides a distributed knowledge management method to our proposed semantic policy framework that enables reasoning, which is necessary for policy creation, conflicts resolution and negotiation
