DIP - Data, Information and Process Integration with Semantic Web Services

This is an internal DIP Workshop, included in WP14 - training. The objective is to raise the awareness of DIP partners on the development and use of DIP and WSMO tools. Another aim is to promote closer interaction between technical partners and case study partners in DIP.

A previous WSMO tutorial can be found here. A webcast recording of this tutorial can be found here .

Case study partners will use this session to interact with technical partners and WSMO participants. The goal is to generate WSMO descriptions of their Semantic Web Services and use available tools.

We encourage DIP and WSMO technical partners to disseminate their work and to support Case Study partners in developing their prototypes.

We are going to have presentations and/or demos (as appropriate) of DIP and WSMO tools (see agenda).

Tool	Provided By	Description
1.Composition Tool	ILOG	A SWS composition tool using a configuration engine as a reasoner. The demo will illustrate two academic problems among which the recent and difficult producer/shipper problem. The system takes as input a metamodel of workflows, the orchestration description of several web services, the related ontologies, and the data the user can provide. It then outputs a composition workflow involving mediators and synchronization constructs.
2. Discovery Tool	FZI	The SWWS Discovery Component is an implementation of a DL-driven discovery approach based on service descriptions in OWL. It has been developed in the scope of the DIP-predecessor project SWWS. The presentation/demo shows how discovery is performed on examples of logistics services, taken from an SWWS case study. The purpose of this presentation is to give the DIP community a cross-project insight in discovery related work
3. WSML ontology editor	Unicorn/DERI	Unicorn is developing a WSML compliant tool for building, maintaining and mapping Ontologies. The tool supports WSML entities such as concepts, attributes, axioms, relations, functions and instances. The tool is designed according to industrial standards such as scalability, with an emphasis on an intuitive user interface
4. Mapping (ontology mediation) Tool	DERI	WSMX Data Mediation is able to provide data mediation by transforming a set of given instances of a source ontology in instances of the target ontology. The component has three main parts, one used during the design time and the other two used during runtime. A set of mappings are created by domain experts (using a mapping tool), automatically transformed in mapping rules and executed in a proper execution environment. Each of these three functionalities is accomplished by a different subcomponent in order to maintain a highly decoupled architecture
5. IRS-III	OU	IRS-III is a platform and infrastructure for creating WSMO-based Semantic Web Services
6. WSMO4J	SIRMA/DERI	WSMO4J is an API and a reference implementation for building Semantic Web Services applications compliant with WSMO
7. SWWS Studio	SIRMA	SWWS Studio is a WSMO compliant Semantic Web Services editor Studio. It will be extended into WSMO Studio.
8. WSMX	DERI	The Web Services Execution Environment (WSMX) is an execution environment for dynamic matchmaking, selection, mediation and invocation of semantic web services.
