Abstract:
To promote and support the development and use of social Web services by the IT community on the Web, both social Web service-based applications and their support platforms should evolve independently from each other while sharing a common model that represents the characteristics of these social Web services. To achieve this duality, this paper proposes a model-driven approach. First, the approach identifies a social Web service's properties. Then a Meta-Object-Facility (MOF)-based social Web services description metamodel is developed. Finally, a prototype illustrates how the MOF-based metamodel is used.
