Abstract

We propose a query framework, called WS-Query, to efficiently query semantic Web services using Quality of Web Service (QoWS). Service querying is enabled by a novel service query model where declarative service queries are resolved by multi-level Web service invocations. Quality of Web Service is used as a key parameter to select the best services. QoWS consists of a set of criteria that characterize the behavior of Web services in delivering their functionalities. We adjust the different QoWS parameters through dynamic rating and multimode matching. The dynamic rating provides a quantitative assessment of the Web services in achieving the promised QoWS throughout their interactions with the query infrastructure. The proposed multimode matching expands the solution space by enabling similar/partial answers and allows assigning a degree of precision for each matching mode.
