A Three-Level Semantic Categorization Scheme of Web Services (Short Paper)

Semantic annotation of Web Services has emerged as an efficient solution to automatic service discovery, composition, invocation and interoperation tasks. In this paper a three-level automated semantic classification mechanism of SOAP and Restful Web Services is examined by taking into account the textual description of Web Services. The proposed approach provides a mechanism for categorizing any Web Service into application domains, prototype operations and prototype i/o into the predefined ontology. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is validated through extensive experiments.
