Multiple Representations of Web Services: Discovery, Clustering and Recommendation

Abstract

International audienceThis paper analyses several web services representations based on web services descriptions and more generally on the content of WSDL files. We introduce also a new representation called symbolic reputation which is computed from relationships between web services. Different implementation issues are discussed and the results considering real world web services are analysed to determine the usefulness of the introduced representations for three main tasks: web services discovery, clustering and recommendation
