Abstract:
An approach for resource identification, management, and service discovery in SOA is presented. The
approach emphasizes an architectural model that allows representation, description, and identification of
services, and is explored as a metadata repository. It is focused not only on Web Services, but also in all
services existing in big companies’ applications, including currently developed services and legacy system
services, highlighting the importance of reusing fine granularity services. The model includes discovery
procedures to find and retrieve candidates for services composition and reuse. These procedures adopt a
Case-Based Reasoning approach, in which the services are considered as cases kept and indexed in a repository.
Case matching is carried out by means of text mining techniques that allow finding the most appropriate
service candidate with the desired requirements for a particular task.
