Abstract:
The approach of users connected anytime, anywhere, has led to merging isolated islands of enriched services environments into the WEB, leaving the user free to choose among an huge number of services. In this context the introduction of ontologies and the creation of semantic Web services mainly focus on using reasoners and planning algorithms to achieve automation in basic processes as discovery, composition and invocation. Nevertheless, there is a problem in standardizing one unique ontology that rises in alignment issues between the domain-specific ontologies on which semantic web service description language eventually rely. Moreover, there is no standardized processes that properly face privacy problem when participants require a graduate disclosure of domain sensitive information. We argue in this paper that a negotiation layer that could connect service consumer and service provider is necessary in order to overcome such limitations. The use of SAML as transverse security language is proposed.
