Abstract
Service Oriented Computing (SOC) has incrementally been adopted as the preferred programming paradigm for the development, integration and interoperation of large and complex information systems. However, despite its increasing popularity, the SOC has not achieved its full potential yet. This is mainly due to the lack of supporting tools to enrich and represent semantically Web service descriptions. This paper describes a solution approach for the automatic representation of Web service descriptions and their further semantic enrichment between operation names based on the calculation of four semantic similarity measures. The enrichment approach is accurate because the final decision is done through a voting scheme, in the case of inconsistent results, these are not asserted into the ontology. Experimentation shows that although few similarity relationships are found and asserted, they represent an important step towards the automatic discovery of information that was previously unknown.
