RDF (Resource Description Framework) is a simple data model for semantically describing resources on the Web.

3 Services on the Web Currently the world of services on the Web is marked by the formation of two main

groups of services. On the one hand, â€oeclassical†Web services, based on WSDL and SOAP, play a major role in the interoperability within and among enterprises.

Web services provide means for the development of open distributed systems, based on decoupled components, by overcoming heterogeneity

and enabling the publishing and consuming of functionalities of existing pieces of software. In particular, WSDL is

used to provide structured descriptions for services, operations and endpoints, while SOAP is used to wrap the XML messages exchanged between the service consumer

and provider. A large number of additional specifications such as WS-Addressing WS-Messaging and WS-Security complement the stack of technologies

-able Web APIS, also referred to as RESTFUL services (properly when conforming to the REST architectural principles 7). RESTFUL services are centred around re

-sources, which are interconnected by hyperlinks and grouped into collections, whose retrieval and manipulation is enabled through a fixed set of operations commonly

In contrast to WSDL-based services, Web APIS build upon a light technology stack relying almost entirely on the use of URIS, for both

The take up of both kinds of services is hampered, however by the amount of manual effort required

Research on Semantic web services 8 has focused on providing semantic descriptions of services so that tasks such as

the discovery, negotiation, composition and invocation of Web services can have a higher level of automation.

These techniques, originally targeted at WSDL services have highlighted a number of advantages and are currently being adapted towards

lighter and more scalable solutions covering Web APIS as well 8 http://backstage. bbc. co. uk

Fostering a Relationship between Linked Data and the Internet of Services 355 4 Linked Services

The advent of the Web of Data together with the rise of Web 2. 0 technologies and

ultimately lead to a widespread adoption of services on the Web. The vision toward the next wave of services, first introduced in 9 and depicted in Figure 1,

is based on two simple notions 1. Publishing service annotations within the Web of Data, and

2. Creating services for the Web of Data, i e.,, services that process Linked Data and/or generate Linked Data

We have devoted since then significant effort to refining the vision 10 and imple -menting diverse aspects of it such as the annotation of services and the publication of

services annotations as Linked Data 11,12, as well as on wrapping, and openly exposing, existing RESTFUL services as native Linked Data producers dubbed Linked

Open Services 13,14. It is worth noting in this respect that these approaches and techniques are different means contributing to the same vision

and are not to be con -sidered by any means the only possible approaches. What is essential though is ex

-ploiting the complementarity of services and the Web of Data through their integra -tion based on the two notions highlighted above

As can be seen in Figure 2 there are three main layers that we consider. At the bot

-tom are Legacy Services which are services which may be based WSDL or Web APIS, for which we provide in essence a Linked Data-oriented view over existing

functionality exposed as services. Legacy services could in this way be invoked, either Fig. 2. Services and the Web of Data

356 J. Domingue et al by interpreting their semantic annotations (see Section 4. 1) or by invoking dedi

-cated wrappers (see Section 4. 2) and RDF information could be obtained on de -mand. In this way, data from legacy systems, state of the art Web 2. 0 sites, or sen

-sors, which do not directly conform to Linked Data principles can easily be made available as Linked Data

The final layer in Figure 2 concerns services which are able to consume RDF data

-vice mashups 15 and RDF mash-ups 16 with the important difference that services are, in this case,

The use of services as the core abstraction for constructing Linked Data applications is therefore more generally applicable than that

4. 1 Implementing Linked Services with Linked Data-based Annotations One thread of our work on Linked Services is based on the use of Linked Data-based

descriptions of Linked Services allowing them to be published on the Web of Data and using these annotations for better supporting the discovery, composition and

invocation of Linked Services Our research there is based on the Minimal Service Model (MSM) 17, originally

introduced together with hrests 18 and WSMO-Lite 19, and slightly modified for the purposes of this work 12.

-ceptual models for services. The best-known approaches to annotating services se -mantically are OWL-S 20, WSMO 21, SAWSDL 22,

and WSMO-Lite for WSDL services, and Microwsmo 23, and SA-REST for Web APIS.

To cater for interoperability, MSM represents essentially the intersection of the structural parts of these formalisms.

Additionally, as opposed to most Semantic web services research to date, MSM supports both â€oeclassical†WSDL Web services, as well as a procedural

view on the increasing number of Web APIS and RESTFUL services, which appear to be preferred on the Web

Fostering a Relationship between Linked Data and the Internet of Services 357 Fig. 3. Conceptual model for services used by iserve

As it can be seen in Figure 3, MSM defines Services, which have a number of Op

-erations. Operations in turn have input, output and fault Messagecontent descrip -tions. Messagecontent may be composed of mandatory or optional Messageparts

The addition of message parts extends the earlier definition of the MSM as de -scribed in 18.

Similarly, the second tool, SOWER, assists users in the annotation of WSDL services and is based in this case on SAWSDL for adding links to semantic descriptions as

WSDL services described using heterogeneous formalisms. iserve is, to the best of our knowledge, the first system to publish web service descriptions on the Web of

that available for WSDL-based services. Thanks to its simplicity, the MSM captures the essence of services in a way that can support service matchmaking and invocation

and still remains largely compatible with the RDF mapping of WSDL, with WSMO -based descriptions of Web services, with OWL-S services,

and with services anno -tated according to WSMO-Lite and Microwsmo The essence of the approach followed by iserve is the use of import mechanisms

for a wide range of existing service description formalisms to automatically transform them into the MSM.

Once the services are transformed, service descriptions are ex -posed following the Linked Data principles and a range of advanced service analysis
