Towards Semantic Web: Seamless integration of services and devices for the FRUCT community

Abstract

Semantic Web presents a generalized approach of applications and services integration that enables direct communication between different entities without any user interaction. Besides obvious advantages of Semantic Web usage, not all of proposed methods can work in a highly-diverse heterogeneous environment, the community or company intranet system usually looks like. In this paper we focus on FRUCT community online services integration under Semantic Web paradigm, aiming to provide an applicability assessment of particular service-to-service communication methods. Also we investigate the Semantic Web usefulness for Machine-to-Machine and Machine-to-Service communications, aiming to proceed with secure and convenient way of user authentication to a number of services. Finally, we conclude and highlight possible research issues that have to be solved during the evolution of Semantic Web.
