Semantic-based Interoperability Infrastructure for Integrating Web Service Platforms to Peer-to-Peer Networks

Project description

Networked business and governments

The objective of the project is to develop a secure semantic-based interoperability framework for exploiting Web service platforms in conjunction with Peer-to-Peer networks.Web services have become a main thrust of the IT industry with its universally accepted standards like SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) for invoking services and WSDL (Web Services Description Language) for describing the technical specifications of the services. There are well established service registries like Universal Description, Discovery, Integration (UDDI) and electronic business XML (ebXML). From the point of Web services, there seems to great opportunities in interoperating with P2P networks. Although service registries facilitate service discovery, they are centralized and joining a service registry requires special administrative arrangements in contrast to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. The barriers to starting and growing P2P systems are low. Therefore especially for SMEs it is advantageous to make their services available through a P2P network. Yet the full power of Web services can be exploited only when any service whether on a service registry or advertised through a peer becomes available to the community. There is a major problem to be solved to realize this vision: the semantic interoperability problem. Web services have a lot of properties like their counters parts in real life that has to be used in the search. In this project we will realize a semantic based infrastructure which will allow the Web services on well-established service registries like UDDI or ebXML to seamlessly interoperate with Web services on P2P Networks. The infrastructure will be used to develop an innovative business pilot application in tourism industry. The travel ontologies to be developed and the semantics of the Web services will be based on standard specifications like the one produced by Open Travel Alliance.
