Semantic Interoperability:Technologies and Standards for Service Orientation

Service-oriented software engineering(SOSE)faces new challenges;in particular,how to promote interoperability and cooperation among loose coupling service resources.This is critical for service resource sharing and for implementing on-demand Internet services.This paper discusses key technologies of service virtualization—including the interoperable package approach of available resources;interoperable aggregation and ontology-based element modeling RGPS in virtualization services;the framework,storage management,and registration of the interoperable element model;virtualization service ontology;and the appearance associate with RGPS(role,goal,process and service).Recent progress of the Metamodel Framework for Interoperability(MFI)and ISO series standards are also discussed.
