Locating Ontologies for Web Services Annotation

The need for services discovery constitutes an important challenge for service-centric software engineering.. In this paper, the idea of classification is brought in to solve the problem of ontology discovery, which has some aspects in common with general text classification and outstanding differences at the same time. An algorithm has been presented to implement automatic ontology discovery for services annotation. Preliminary experiments on a real-world services corpus show that the approach is practical and can be complemental to existing services annotation approaches.
