An Overview of Semantic Web Service Description based on Model Driven Approaches

摘要

In this study, formal MDA approaches for describing Semantic Web Services (SWS) are discussed. Although syntactic approach is used for fulfill the web service task, the main concentration of this study is on SWS. Basically, MDA approaches for SWS are divided into four categories such as software methodology based, UML formalist based, formal-based and query-based. Each of these SWS approaches uses OWL-S, SAWSDL, or WSMO to construct the SWS description. Therefore, each MDA approach is fully discussed to provide comprehensive overview on SWS technology.
