Abstract

Ontology-Driven Compositional Systems (ODCSs) are designed to assist a user with semi- or fully automatic composition of a desired system. Current research with ODCSs has been conducted around the discovery and composition of web services and alternatively a bottom-up resource management approach to automatic system composition. This paper argues that current ODCSs do not truly satisfy user expectations as the semantic knowledge required to make proper discovery, decision-making and composition has not been fully represented. The authors introduce the beginning of their work of utilizing the inheritance of multiple ontologies to fully represent the functional, data, quality & trust, and execution of compositional units within an ODCS. Furthermore, a case study of fish population modeling is presented.
