Declarative Data Grounding Using a Mapping Language

Grounding is the process in charge of linking re- quests and responses of web services with the semantic web services execution platform, and it is the key activity to au- tomate their execution in a real business environment. In this paper, the authors propose a practical solution for data groun- ding. On the one hand, we define a mapping language to relate data structures from services definition in WSDL documents to concepts, properties and instances of a business domain. On the other hand, two functions that perform the lowering and lifting processes using these mapping specifications are also defined.
