Towards patterns-based Linguistic Web Service composition

Service-Oriented Architecture is a cornerstone for the realization of the user´s needs through the automatic composition of services from service descriptions and user tasks. Yet, automatic service composition processes commonly assume that Linguistic Web Service descriptions and user requests share the same abstraction level, and that services have been pre-designed to integrate. In this paper, we identify several composition patterns that assist the users with the composition of appropriate services. Moreover, we use our previous proposal to ensure the compatibility between Linguistic Web services using different exchange formats. This proposal is based on the Lexical Markup Framework which is the ISO standard for lexicons.
