Abstract :
Nowadays, Web applications can be quickly developed by combining existing APIs, independently provided by third parties. In this paper we present a semantics-enabled registry for Web APIs and we address the problem of supporting the retrieval and exploratory browsing of available APIs. Web APIs are semantically organized in the registry according to similarity and coupling criteria. Preliminary results of effectiveness and efficacy of the registry are presented.
