“…This section briefly revisits a formal representation of service design knowledge; for more details, we refer to [16]. To summarize the abstract representation of service design principles, we refer to a specific example of service design used in SAP, largely consisting (i) a business meta-data model, (ii) service design patterns and (iii) naming conventions as described hereinafter.…”

“…ESs are usually advertised through specific repositories, e.g. SAP's Enterprise Service Workplace and Registry (ESW) [18] or IBM's WebSphere Service Registry and Repository (WSRR 2 ), which can easily contain thousands of services [16].…”

“…In the following, we refer to the superset of business entities and action expressions as entities. In previous work, we presented an approach to automatically extract such entities [16] and learn naming conventions [17] from ES operation names, referred to as signatures. Using service design knowledge as an index over an ESs repository, we propose a ranking based on four different ranking measures related to entities.…”

The consumption of APIs, such as Enterprise Services (ESs) in an enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture (eSOA), has largely been a task for experienced developers. With the rapidly growing number of such (Web)APIs, users with little or no experience in a given API face the problem of finding relevant API operations-e.g., mashups developers. However, building an effective search has been a challenge: Information Retrieval (IR) methods struggle with the brevity of text in API descriptions, whereas semantic search technologies require domain ontologies and formal queries. Motivated by the search behavior of users, we propose an iterative keyword search based on entities. The entities are part of a knowledge base, whose content stems from model-driven engineering. We implemented our approach and conducted a user study showing significant improvements in search effectiveness.
