Web Services and Semantic Web

Coping with Heterogeneous Interaction Patterns in Web Services

Abstract

This talk describes how we handle heterogeneity in web service interaction through a choreography mechanism. IRS-III is a framework and platform for developing semantic web services which utilizes the WSMO ontology. The overall design of the choreography framework is based on: the use of ontologies and state, IRS-III playing the role of a broker, differentiating between communication direction and which actor has the initiative, having representations which can be executed, a formal semantics, and the ability to suspend communication. The framework has a full implementation, which is illustrated through an example application.
