Abstract:
Most of the existing work in web service discovery reflect providers perspective. These discovery techniques improve service descriptions so that the service clearly describes what it offers. This development has led to the use of semantic web technology for web service discovery. A lot of work has gone into improving web service descriptions to support improved web service discovery. In this paper we extend the existing approaches to semantic web service discovery and introduce personalization to it. We also show how personalization affects discovery. We provide a model to represent a user profile, and its usage for improving the accuracy of web service discovery.
