ebXML registry aiming to become OWL aware.
This paper addresses how ebXML registry semantics support can be further enhanced to make it OWL aware.
Accoridng to authors, there are basically three ways of achieving this: The first one is mapping OWL constructs to ebXML registry information model constructs without modifying the registry architecture and implementation. In this way, the semantic explicitly stored in the registry can be retrieved through querying; yet, the application program must contain additional code to process this semantics. The second approach is additionally providing predefined stored procedures in the registry for processing the OWL constructs. We believe that this approach is quite powerful to associate semantics with registry objects: it becomes possible to retrieve knowledge through queries and the enhancements to the registry are generic. The capabilities provided move the semantics support beyond what is currently available in ebXML registries and it does so by using a standard ontology language. The third approach is changing the ebXML registry to support OWL with full reasoning capabilities. However, this approach requires considerable changes in the registry architecture.
Since our aim is to make the ebXML registry OWL aware by keeping the registry specification
intact, we take the second approach. To be able to demonstrate the benefits of the enhancements, we also show how the resulting semantics can be made use of in Web service discovery and
composition.
