Implementing Link Services via Semantic Web Services Composition.

The Open Hypermedia model is based upon the separation of hypertext links from documents, treating them as separate, first class entities. Distributed link services take this approach a stage further, with separate link services providing and managing the links. In this paper, we describe the development of a system infrastructure for link services using the Web Services architecture. More precisely, we target the development of Web Services composition to enable integration and coordination between link services. A second prototype illustrates the use of Semantic Web technologies to implement a simple open hypermedia system. We discuss the role of Semantic Web technologies in the service-oriented approach to open hypermedia systems.
