ODS: Ontology Directory Services for Ontology Integration in Semantic Web Services

With the rapid development of network technology from information interaction to Semantic Web Service and the continuous accumulation of Web Services which are distributed and heterogeneous, the interoperation and uniform management of Web Services have been already extremely urgent. To solve this problem, a novel Ontology Directory Service Framework is proposed and the process of service registration and service request are respectively given under the framework. A specific instance reveals that the ontology technology can extend the LDAP for the storage of service ontology instances and realize the services integration. In this way, service interoperation and reuse can be done automatically and accurately by computer so as to improve the efficiency of services.
