“…Many problems arise including how do we represent and structure context in a model, how do we specify a Web service binding to context, how do we map a contextual model onto a contextual program code, how do we provide an automatic tool for this conversion, and how do we show the dynamic nature of context? A contextual model complies with the argument that "there is no unique way to look at data and there is no unique way to represent data" (Arara and Benslimane, 2004) and, opens up as well research opportunities in the field of multi-representation. A contextual model would permit abstracting a situation based on the expected use (e.g., maintenance, monitoring) of this abstraction.…”

This paper discusses how we develop and apply a contextual model-driven approach to Web services. A Web service is defined using WSDL, posted on an UDDI registry, and invoked through a SOAP request. To deploy adaptable Web services, we consider the environment in which these Web services operate. This environment's features exist in a structure, which we refer to as context. By adopting a contextual model-driven approach, we aim at developing contextual specifications of Web services. To this end ContextUML, an extension of UML through UMLProfile, permits developing these contextual specifications.

We propose in this paper to use distributed description logics to access the whole annotated Web resources from any ontology. Web content is annotated by multiple ontologies. So, each ontology annotates only part of Web content. To make accessing the whole annotated Web resources from any ontology, we propose to connect ontologies among them. However, each ontology provides domain semantics only from a particular perspective. So, inter-ontology connections have to take into account heterogeneity due to ontology perspectives. Syntax and semantics of proposed formalization is fully inspired from Distributed Description Logics.

“…An approach that is very similar to this idea is the work of Arara and others [12,1]. They propose the use of modal description logics for encoding multiple viewpoints in the same ontology by indexing parts of the definitions with the contexts they are supposed to hold in.…”

Despite of their advertisement as task independent representations, the reuse of ontologies in different contexts is difficult. An explanation for this is that when developing an ontology, a choice is made with respect to what aspects of the world are relevant. In this paper we deal with the problem of reusing ontologies in a context where only parts of the originally encoded aspects are relevant. We propose the notion of a viewpoint on an ontology in terms of a subset of the complete representation vocabulary that is relevant in a certain context. We present an approach of implementing different viewpoints in terms of an approximate subsumption operator that only cares about a subset of the vocabulary. We discuss the formal properties of subsumption with respect to a subset of the vocabulary and show how these properties can be used to efficiently compute different viewpoints on the basis of maximal sub-vocabularies that support subsumption between concept pairs.
