description

In this paper we consider ontologies as knowledge structures that specify attributes of services, their properties and relations among them to enable finding semantic similarity between service descriptions and service requests. Ontologies reflect semantic relationship between concepts represented by attributes in service descriptions and service requests. We use knowledge from ontologies to enhance the both user service requests and service descriptions by adding concepts that are not presented in the original descriptions, and use them in comparison process. It results in more precise matching since we consider also implicit concepts. Thus services and requests that do not contain exact matching attributes can be anyway found semantically matching on some abstraction level.
