The Internet of Services is commonly referred to as the underlying platform for realizing ad-hoc value networks in the web. In the case of decentralized service discovery, brokerage, or community feedback, there emerge a number of service information challenges that have to be addressed. In this paper, we propose to counter such service information challenges by two artifacts. First, we contribute a Service Ontology as a consistent and holistic way of capturing service information. The ontology is constructed in an interdisciplinary and collaborative way and formalized with W3C Semantic Web recommendations. Second, we provide for the methodological aspects around the ontology including a governance framework and guidelines for interlinking information.

“…Service Networks (SNs) [2,3] leverage end-to-end service interactions between network partners that embody a succession of business processes typically cutting across organizational boundaries and spanning various geographical locations. Service networks sequence service activities with the flow definitions of business process modelf into end-to-end service constellations, assign work items to the appropriate human actors or groups, and ensure that both human-and systems-based activities are performed within agreed-upon timeframes and QoS criteria.…”

“…As a first fundamental step, [2] proposed the Service Network Notation (SNN) as a novel modeling language enabling quantitative economic analysis of SNs to ascertain the optimal constellation of collaborative economic agents resulting in maximum economic value.Service networks described as SNN models can be analyzed to optimize the value generated in the network using financial metrics like cost, revenues and customer satisfaction. Further evolution of the SNN notation and its related analysis techniques will concern the simulation of service networks to discover value anomalies (e.g.…”

Abstract. The Internet has catered for the transformation of traditional "stovepiped" service companies into global service networks fostering coproduction of value to more effectively and efficiently satisfy the evergrowing demands of mundane customers. The catalyst of this change is the happenstance of Service Oriented Computing, which provides a natural distributed computing technology paradigm for implementing and evolving such highly distributed networks of autonomous trading partners with coordinate and cooperative actions. However, how to faithfully (re-)map service networks to business processes and service realizations and vice-versa is still partly terra incognita. In this paper, we introduce a semi-automatic model transformation approach for creating the abstract business processes that take place between trading partners from models of service networks, assuming limited human-involvement focused on selecting reusable transformation patterns. This approach is explored and validated using a realistic case study reflecting best practices in the telecommunications industry.

“…Moreover, it is important to identify redundant services and services that can be shared in a service network. A service network is an arena for co-creating value between interdependent organizations [9]. The generic representation of the service mechanism in the SoaML specification [10] enables it to represent business services, i.e.…”
