Service Management Model Based on Ontology

The widespread use of SOA (Service-oriented architecture) is making Web services, which now is used more frequently to manage interfaces and resources, more popular. The new value-added services, generated by Web service composition, provide more powerful and flexible features. It´s a big challenge to manage these increasing services efficiently for providing a convenient developing environment, which could allow developers to find desired services quickly and accurately. This paper proposes a novel approach to service management by using semantic annotation and classification based on ontology. An efficient service management platform is implemented by analyzing the semantic information among services.
