Semantics-Enabled Web API Organization and Recommendation

The design of Web applications from third-party Web APIs can be shortened by providing a conceptual model that abstracts from implementation aspects of each Web API and supports their selection. In this paper we propose a framework to support easy Web application development. The framework provides Web API organization based on automated matching techniques apt to establish semantic links between them according to properly defined similarity and coupling criteria and Web API selection patterns to support interactive and proactive Web application development according to an exploratory perspective.
