Automatic Structuring Of Semantic Web Services An Approach

TL;DR

This paper presents an approach for automatically constructing and enriching ontologies for semantic web services by integrating TF/IDF, web context generation, and validation with free text descriptors to improve accuracy.

Contribution

It introduces a novel bootstrapping ontological process that combines multiple methods for better ontology extraction from web services.

Findings

Improved accuracy in ontology definition through combined methods.

Effective ranking model for web service documents.

Enhanced ontology enrichment and adaptation.

Abstract

Ontologies have become the effective modeling for various applications and significantly in the semantic web. The difficulty of extracting information from the web, which was created mainly for visualising information, has driven the birth of the semantic web, which will contain much more resources than the web and will attach machine-readable semantic information to these resources. Ontological bootstrapping on a set of predefined sources, such as web services, must address the problem of multiple, largely unrelated concepts. The web services consist of basically two components, Web Services Description Language (WSDL) descriptors and free text descriptors. The WSDL descriptor is evaluated using two methods, namely Term Frequency/Inverse Document Frequency (TF/IDF) and web context generation. The proposed bootstrapping ontological process integrates TF/IDF and web context generation and applies validation using the free text descriptor service, so that, it offers more accurate definition of ontologies. This paper uses ranking adaption model which predicts the rank for a collection of web service documents which leads to the automatic construction, enrichment and adaptation of ontologies.
