Abstract

In this paper, we propose an integrated framework to construct a Web service ontology in a bottom-up fashion. The ontology treats Web services as the first-class objects, which captures their functional-features and inter-service relationships. The proposed framework starts with a set of WSDL service descriptions given that WSDL is the de facto standard for describing service APIs. Information retrieval techniques are leveraged to extract a Web service's functional features from its WSDL description. The framework measures the functional relevance between service operations and uses it to define the service ontology on a high-level. An improved data clustering algorithm is proposed to group relevant operations. Each operation group corresponds to a service domain. Within a domain, the framework measures the functional similarity between service operations and applies a hierarchical data clustering algorithm to construct the internal structure of the service ontology. A comprehensive experimental study is conducted to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the framework.
