Semantically enabled service-oriented architecture focused on principles of service orientation, semantic modeling, intelligent and automated integration defines grounds for a cutting-edge technology which enables new means to integration of services, more adaptive to changes in business requirements which occur over systems' lifetime. We define the architecture starting from a global perspective and through Web service modeling ontology as its semantic service model we narrow down to its services, processes and technology we use for the reference implementation. On a B2B integration scenario we demonstrate several aspects of the architecture and further describe the evaluation of the implementation according to a community-agreed standard evaluation methodology for semantic-based systems.
In this paper we present a B2B integration scenario building on the principles of Semantic Web services. For this scenario we show the benefits of semantic descriptions used within the integration process to enable conversation between systems with data and process mediation of services. We illustrate our approach on the WSMX -a middleware platform built specifically to enact semantic service oriented architectures.
Abstract. Dynamic discovery based on semantic description of services is an essential aspect of the Semantic Web services integration process. Since not all data required for service discovery can always be included in service descriptions, some data needs to be obtained during run-time. In this paper we define a model for service interface allowing required data to be fetched from the service provider during discovery process. We also provide a specification of such interface for WSMO and demonstrate the model on a case scenario from the SWS Challenge implemented using WSMX -a middleware platform built specifically to enact semantic service oriented architectures.
To actually bridge the gap between business perspective and technical perspective, the prerequisite is to provide a comprehensive process modeling framework for business processes. Different from the previous traditional process methodologies, our work is neither only industrial process graphic-modeling nor pure theoretical studies. We mainly focus on the semantically-enhanced process description model. We propose the semantic modeling framework for business processes, i.e. BPMO: basically, we determine the description requirements for the whole business process lifecycle involving process discovery, composition and execution; furthermore, we refine the comprehensive semantic Web services conceptual model WSMO and make specific extensions to realize the BPMO modeling framework.
