Semantic integration and interoperability in Web Information Systems is a major crucial issue of the recent years. Semantics is particularly important to share and integrate information and services in open P2P environments, where the lack of a common understanding of the world generates the need for explicit guidance in discovering available resources. Nowadays, ontologies supply a common basis for various research areas, wherever semantics is involved. Their use as means to share descriptions of available resources is being investigated for content discovery also in P2P systems and, in particular, ontology-based techniques are at the core of many proposals related to service discovery. In this paper we propose a semantic-driven service discovery approach in a P2P scenario, where peers are organized in semantic communities for integration and interoperability purposes. Specific ontologies are defined to add semantics to service descriptions and to guide service discovery among peers.

Abstract

Semantic integration and interoperability in Web Information Systems is a major crucial issue of the recent years. Semantics is particularly important to share and integrate information and services in open P2P environments, where the lack of a common understanding of the world generates the need for explicit guidance in discovering available resources. Nowadays, ontologies supply a common basis for various research areas, wherever semantics is involved. Their use as means to share descriptions of available resources is being investigated for content discovery also in P2P systems and, in particular, ontology-based techniques are at the core of many proposals related to service discovery. In this paper we propose a semantic-driven service discovery approach in a P2P scenario, where peers are organized in semantic communities for integration and interoperability purposes. Specific ontologies are defined to add semantics to service descriptions and to guide service discovery among peers.
