Extended Service Registry to Support I/O Parameter-Based Service Search

摘要

The increasing availability of Web services within an organization and on the Web demands for an efficient search mechanism to find services satisfying user requirements. Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) is an industry standard for Service Registries, developed to solve the Web service search problem. However, UDDI offers limited search functionalities which may return a huge number of irrelevant services. Also, often consumers may be unaware of precise keywords to retrieve the required services satisfactorily and may be looking for services capable of providing certain outputs. In this paper, we propose a new system called ESR for extended and efficient service search using an Object Relational Database. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of service search in our extended service registry (ESR) and the variety of user queries supported.
