an efficient approach for service retrieval
The efficient discovery of services from a large-scale collection of services has become an important issue[1, 15]. We studied a pragmatic and efficient method for Web service retrieval. We regarded service retrieval as information retrieval on the proprietary XML formats, which are service descriptions in the registry DB. We enhanced the IR techniques to model and compute service similarity against queries on the off-the-shelf DBMS. Our technique considers not only UDDI data entries but also WSDL definitions of services. We also provide a technique to enhance performance of retrieval, considering structural features on the service descriptions.
