Semantic Web Service

From Saltlux

Semantic web service semi-automatically accomplishes the notification, discovery, construction and practical work by mark-up software resources self-contained, self-describing and semantically.
Semantic web service can be defined as a part of semantic web.

1. Issues resolved by semantic web service
Xml standard for mutual application of web service only provides structural mutual application and does not mean semantics of a message. Foe example, WSDL can define the operation possibly through structure of web service and data link, but not define the semantic meaning of data and semantic limitation of data. To do these it is necessary to obtain a definite agreement on web services and mutual actions from programmer and it make the automatic synthesizing of web services difficult. Semantic web services are the upper most classes of web service infrastructure for semantic meaning of web service.

2. Potential Advantages
The higher service quality may be provided through proactive semantic discovery of web service to enable the synthesis and accomplishment of functions.

3. Choreography vs. orchestration
Choreography is a description of behavior of services into functions of consumer’s point of view looked like message exchange collections from outside in accordance with message exchange pattern in minor selection.
Orchestration describes the methodology of cooperation and communication to achieve general purposes of one or more services.
