Abstract Semantically-enabled Service Oriented Architecture focused around principles of service orientation, semantic modeling, intelligent and automated integration defines grounds for a cuttingedge technology which enables new means to integration of services, more adaptive to changes in business requirements which occur over systems ’ lifetime. We define the architecture starting from a global perspective and through Web Service Modeling Ontology as its semantic service model we narrow down to its services, processes and technology we use for the reference implementation. On a B2B integration scenario we demonstrate several aspects of the architecture and further describe the evaluation of the implementation according to a community-agreed standard evaluation methodology for semantic-based systems.

This paper proposes a model-driven methodology to design and develop semantic Web service applications and their components, described according to the emerging WSMO standard. In particular, we show that business processes and Web engineering models have sufficient expressive power to support the semi-automatic extraction of semantic descriptions (i.e., WSMO ontologies, goals, Web services, and mediators), thus partially hiding the complexity of dealing with semantics. Our method is based on existing models for the specification of business processes (BPMN) combined with Web engineering models for designing and developing semantically rich Web applications (WebML). The proposed approach leads from an abstract view of the business needs to a concrete implementation of the application, by means of several design steps; high level models are transformed into software components. Our framework increases the efficiency of the whole design process, yielding to the construction of semantic Web service applications spanning over several enterprises.

Modeling the semantics of business services and their corresponding messages using ontologies enables flexible integration that is more adaptive to business-driven change. In this paper we demonstrate our approach building upon an established Semantic Web Service Framework (WSMX) to facilitate a conversation between heterogeneous services that support both the RosettaNet standard and proprietary information models. 1
A Survey on Web Modeling Approaches for Ubiquitous Web Applications

Today’s web applications are full-fledged, complex software systems for which a methodologically sound engineering approach is crucial. Web engineering has emerged as an independent branch of software engineering and ”comprises the use of systematic and quantifiable approaches in order to accomplish the specification, implementation, operation, and maintenance of high quality web applications ” [Kappel et al.

Abstract. Current conceptual models and methodologies for Web applications concentrate on content, navigation, and service modeling. Although some of them are meant to address semantic web applications too, they do not fully exploit the whole potential deriving from interaction with ontological data sources and and from Semantic annotations. This paper proposes an extension to Web application conceptual models toward Semantic Web. We devise an extension of the WebML modeling framework that fulfills most of the design requirements emerging for the new area of Semantic Web. We generalize the development process to cover Semantic Web and we devise a set of new primitives for ontology importing and querying. Finally, an implementation prototype of the proposed concepts is proposed within the commercial tool WebRatio. 1

Abstract—The recent success of the Semantic Web in research, technology and standardisation communities has also resulted in a large variety of different standards, technologies and tools. This diversity and heterogeneity goes along with an increasing complexity in assessing, evaluating, selecting and combining different approaches for the development of Semantic Web Applications (SWA). With this work we aim at lowering the entrance barrier for the development and engineering of Semantic Web Applications by presenting a classification of SWAs according to the dimensions semantic technology depth, information flow direction, richness of knowledge representation, semantic integration and user involvement. This categorisation helps to establish and consolidate the conceptualisation with regard to the engineering of SWAs and facilitates the comparability of different SWAs. With its requirements and benefits, the categorisation of SWAs can also serve as a guideline for practitioners looking into the application of semantic technologies within their use cases. We give an overview over popular SWAs and present, with Vakantieland and LinkedGeoData, two semantic web applications with regard to the categorisation in detail. I.

Abstract: This paper overviews and compares the DERI and DEI-Cefriel approaches to the SWS-Challenge workshop mediation scenario in terms of the utilized underlying technologies and delivered solutions. In the mediation scenario one partner uses RosettaNet to define its B2B protocol while the other one operates on a proprietary solution. Goal of the workshop participants was to show how could these partners be semantically integrated. 1

RosettaNet is an industry-driven e-business process standard that defines common inter-company public processes and their associated business documents. RosettaNet is based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm and all business documents are expressed in DTD or XML Schema. Our “ontologically-enhanced RosettaNet ” effort translates RosettaNet business documents into a Web ontology language, allowing business reasoning based on RosettaNet message exchanges. This chapter describes this extension to RosettaNet and shows how it can be used in business integrations for better interoperability. The usage of Web ontology languages in RosettaNet collaborations can help accommodate partner heterogeneity in the setup phase and can ease the back-end integration, enabling for example more competition in the purchasing processes. It provides also a building block for a semantic SOA with discovery, selection and composition capabilities.

Available methodologies for developing Sematic Web appli-cations do not fully exploit the whole potential deriving from interaction with ontological data sources. Here we introduce an extension of the WebML modeling framework to fulfill most of the design requirements emerging for the new area of Semantic Web. We generalize the development process to support Semantic Web applications and we introduce a set of new primitives for ontology importing and querying.
