“…As future work we are planning to exploit and integrate the previously mentioned semantic basis, DISCO [26,32] for readability calculation. DISCO could be an alternative or complement to WordNet as the concept hierarchy that allows calculating document cohesion and scope.…”

“…A list of terms is extracted from each operation part -e.g., a list of message terms, a list of sequence terms, and a list of data type terms, among others. To extract terms from identifiers, we make use of an algorithm for semantic separation of terms defined in a previous work [32]. Identifiers are normally restricted to a sequence of one or more letters in ASCII code, numeric characters and underscores ("_") or hyphens ("-").…”

A Web Service has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically WSDL). Service providers expose their services by publishing their WSDL documents. Service consumers can learn about service capabilities and how to interact with services. Service descriptions (WSDL documents) should be ideally understood easily by service stakeholders so that the process of consuming services is simplified. In this work we present a practical metric to quantify readability in WSDL documents. We adapted and extended an existing ontology-based semantic readability metric to focus on WSDL documents by using WordNet as a lightweight concept hierarchy. We have validated our approach by performing both qualitative and quantitative experiments. The first one consists of a controlled survey with a group of service consumers. The results showed that consumers (software engineers) required less time and effort to analyze WSDL documents with higher readability values. The second experiment compares our approach with two ontology-based approaches. The third experiment compares the readability values of a dataset of real-life service descriptions before and after rewriting them. The results showed the effectiveness of our approach to assess readability of Web Services interfaces.

In the last years, Web Services have become the technological choice to materialize the Service-Oriented Computing paradigm. However, a broad use of Web Services requires efficient approaches to allow service consumption from within applications. Currently, developers are compelled to search for suitable services mainly by manually exploring Web catalogs, which usually show poorly relevant information, than to provide the adequate "glue-code" for their assembly. This implies a large effort into discovering, selecting and adapting services. To overcome these challenges, this paper presents a novel Web Service Selection Method. We have defined an Interface Compatibility procedure to assess structural-semantic aspects from functional specifications -in the form of WSDL documents -of candidate Web Services. Two different semantic basis have been used to define and implement the approach: WordNet, a widely known lexical dictionary of the English language; and DISCO, a database which indexes co-occurrences of terms in very large text collections. We performed a set of experiments to evaluate the approach regarding the underlying semantic basis and against third-party approaches with a data-set of real-life Web Services. Promising results have been obtained in terms of well-known metrics of the Information Retrieval field.
