Web Service Discovery Based on Semantic Description

Web Services plays an important role in several fields such as e-commerce and e-business platforms. The rapid development and need of web services in a short time is because of its interoperability and portability. It supports machine to machine interaction over a network and it also supports machines working with different platforms to be interoperable without any additional process. From the enormous amounts of web services developed and published, finding the most relevant web service according to user's need is a very crucial one. For very long time, the traditional approach user for discovering the relevant web service is keyword based approach. Some other approaches for discovering the web services are based on semantic based and syntax based. Several web services exist without proper semantic descriptions. Due to this many web services which are most relevant to the user request are left undiscoverable during the web service discovery process. The proposed approach mainly concentrates on the web service matching based on the semantic description of the web services which is registered in the Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI).
