What Are SWS Good for? DIP, SUPER, and SOA4All Use Cases

  • Chapter
Semantic Web Services

Abstract

In this chapter, we present a selection of extensions and use cases for Semantic Web Services from successful European research projects, namely ‘Data, Information, and Process Integration with Semantic Web Services’ (DIP), ‘Semantics Utilized for Process management within and between Enterprises’ (SUPER) and ‘Service Oriented Architectures for All’ (SOA4All). These projects tackle different aspects of Semantic Web Services, and extend the concepts presented so far in the book in different directions. Due to the differing nature of this chapter, rather than following the structure adopted in the previous chapters, we will provide a general overview in the motivation section, and then dedicate a section to each of the aforementioned projects. For each project, we will first introduce the project and provide background motivation behind it; we will then present technology enhancements delivered through the project and contributions to the extension and evolution of Semantic Web Services technologies; finally, we will emphasize one or more use cases adopted in the project to demonstrate how the technology has been adopted. The summary section concludes with a summary of the achievements of these projects.
