Abstract

This paper provides a review on current Web Service Retrieval methods. Firstly, it includes description of this research area and introduces its systematics against many various research on general concept of service discovery. Secondly, it provides an overview of current research on Web Services Retrieval. Analysis of Web Service Retrieval methods refers to current study that use Information Retrieval techniques that addresses the topics of Web crawling and indexing. In addition, analyzed study also includes a number of specific issues without which the retrieval of Web Services is not possible. It includes: indexing terms extraction, tokenization, construction of test collection, classification and clustering of services, and extraction of relevant information.
