Abstract
Web service composition can enhance the efficiency and agility of knowledge management by
composing individual Web services together for
complex business requirements. There are two main
research streams in knowledge representation for
Web service composition: syntactic-based and
semantic-based approaches. Despite the promises
brought by each approach, the two streams are
largely separated from each other. In this paper,
we propose an integrated ontology-supported Web
service composition framework, which provides
a novel solution to organizational knowledge
management. By synergistically leveraging both
syntactic-based and semantic-based approaches,
this framework provides dual modes to perform
service composition. Ontologies are employed
to enrich semantics at both service description
and composition levels. The proposed conceptual
framework has been implemented in the corporate
financial services domain. It is demonstrated that
the shared ontology helps fulfill automated and
on-the-fly service composition in particular and
knowledge management in general.
