A Novel Approach for Semantic Web Service Discovery

Abstract

As the number of web services is increasing, finding the best service according to the users' requirements becomes a challenging task. Traditional method of web services discovery is based on keyword match. Due to this, many web services which are most relevant to the user request are left undiscoverable. Some other emergent approaches for discovering web services are based on semantics which improves the quality of the discovered web services in terms of relevance and satisfaction of user's need. In this paper, we briefly discuss the challenges facing semantic web services discovery and present different approaches for this process. We present also our proposed algorithm that aims to help users in the process of selection of the most appropriate semantic web service.
