One usage location that was pointed out by Reviewer-5 was marked as Not in use. The framework was not used there since it required a modification to the framework that would change its semantics, a task that the team preferred not to do at the time that that specific location in the application was implemented.

capability to OSGi in order for OSGi to be more applicable to enterprise systems. Toward this goal, in our previous paper [13] we proposed an approach, where distribution is enabled by exposing OSGi services as Web services, which is done by creating a “middleware” bundle that adapts OSGi services to become Web services. Figure | gives an overview of our approach. Figure 1. Architecture of our approach [13]. (System B is an external system.)

Figure 19. GUI of airline interface. The airline interface lets airlines to change information about scheduled flights. For example, an airline can change the aircraft type to a smaller one if the currently scheduled plane cannot be filled or the airline can change the departure time if the currently scheduled plane is delayed due to weather conditions. All these changes are broadcasted to the flight list display system and the mobile client by the management system. Figure 19 shows GUI of the airline interface. The flight list display system sends updated flight information (including current departure time, gate, aircraft type and flight status: on-time, delayed or cancelled) to flight list displays, which are spread over the airport. Figure 20 shows GUI of the flight list display system.

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TERMS its pattern rule, the matching logic will return a matching score because these two parameters are closely related (perhaps using the rules “CityName propertyOf City” and “codeOfCityv propertvOf City’). The semantic matching technique estimates the similarity of the input and output by considering the underlying concepts the input/output parameters cover. Formally, we describe the input as a vector 1 =< p;,C; > (similarly, t O =< py, Cy he output can be represented in the form >), where pj; is the set of input parameters and C; is the concept that is associated with p;. Then, the simila- rity of the in put can be found using the following two steps (the output can be processed in a similar fashion); (1) we split pj; into a set of terms, we then find synonyms for these terms, and (2) we replace each term with its corresponding concepts, and then compute a similarity score.

TABLE II. EXAMPLE FOR DISCOVERY PROBLEM We describe an automatic Web API discovery algorithm similar to the one in [5]. An API matches a query when an API is sufficiently similar to the query. This means that we need to allow the agent to perform matches that recognize the degree of similarity between APIs and the query. We define the matching criteria as follows: matches the query requirement is the Web API discovery problem. For example, we are looking for an API to search a hotel. Table 2 shows the input/output parameters of a query and an API. In this example a Web API W satisfy the query Q. Q requires HotelName as the output and W produces HotelName and ConfirmNumber. The extra output produ- ced can be ignored. W requires CountryCode and Name- OfCity as the input and Q provides CountryID, State- Name, and CityName as the input. An API parameter can be matched with the other parameter only if there is a semantic relationship between them. Here, although CountryCode and CountryID are different forms, they have the same semantics since they are referred to the same concept. Also NameOfCity and CityName have the same semantics since they are properties of the same object (i.e., City). Therefore the agent is able to infer that Q and W input parameters have semantically the same classes.

Figure 3. Directed Similarity Graph To experiment with the data mashup tool we extracted a collection of REST and SOAP APIs from Programmable- Web. To avoid potential bias, we chose different APIs from different domains. We first collected a subset which associ- ated REST APIs for three domains: weather, travel, and mapping. This set contains 63 APIs. Next, we collected a subset containing 17 SOAP APIs from three domains: zip- code, location, and search. In Figure 3, we show a directed similarity graph which obtained from our experimental dataset. The graph consists of 80 nodes and 123 edges. A possible query for the Web API composition is given as follows: Q.1 = {zipcode}, Q.0 = {city, latitude, longitude}. The composition result is exemplified by part of the directed similarity graph as shown in Figure 4. From the registry our engine has discovered 8 last nodes (dark grey circles) and 7 first nodes (light grey circles). We call the BFS algorithm and create an n-ary tree for each last node. This is repeated until all the last nodes are reached.

Following the completion of a project, the materials contained in some of these resources are considered for archival purposes so that they remain available despite the end of funding and dispersal of teams. This is an increasingly familiar situation as funders and institutions seek to develop repositories to increase the impact and availability of their work. Such archives or repositories of web resources enable users to search for information in the collection using basic keyword searching which proves to be ineffective simply because they retrieve web pages, datasets, and research papers merely on the basis of incidental mentions of a term in users’ queries. Such a searching strategy misses the context, relationship, historical details and other attributes of a particular resource which would have enabled users to extend their exploration to other related records in the archive. One such web resources repository is the ReStore repository [6] which will be used as a test-bed for the experimentation and search performance evaluation described here.

In Figure 3, we have put together very basic terms and concepts (classes, properties) in a container with a view to mapping and extending them to other ontologies and storing the resulting annotation metadata (instances of classes or KB together in the form of integrated ontologies.

The Cronbach’s alpha was calculated for each of the factors obtained in order to estimate the reliability of the results. Factor 1 obtained a Cronbach alpha value of 0.874, Factor 2 obtained a Cronbach alpha value of 0.907 and Factor 3 obtained a Cronbach alpha value of 0.862. This signifies that the values obtained are good, and that the results are therefore reliable.

Nevertheless, we are conscious that it has certain limitations. The first concerns the quality model used since we have limited the research to DQ characteristics in the Contextual category of the SPDQM model.

Figure 1. Events that are similar by vocabulary but different. edge represents the relation between two minimal events. In order to establish EGM, we first define two types of a minimal event which can not be divided on a sentence in the given article: an event noun phrase and an event predicate-argument structure. An event noun phrase is a noun phrase which can represent an event by itself. If we divide the noun phrase into several elements, then no elements can represent an event. Therefore, it is adequate that we regard an event noun phrase as a minimal event. A predicate-argument structure in a sentence, abbreviated to PAS, is called an event predicate-argument structure, abbreviated to EPAS, if its predicate represents an action related to an event. For example, sentence “Date Muratoki revived the economy of his feudal domain” contains an EPAS because its predicate “revived” represents an action in the economic revival; on the other hand, the predicate of sentence “Tokugawa Ieyasu had been told as a descendant of Nitta Yoshishige” is not regarded as an action of a historical event. If a sentence has two predicates representing actions of events, then we regard the sentence contains two EPAS. We then introduce the following eight kinds of a relation between minimal events: deployment, illustration, parataxis, causality, paradox, progress, means, and situation. In contrast to models dealing with the causality relation between events [1], our eight kinds of relations are expected to find similar events more accurately. We also present an idea how to determine which events have a relation by utilizing the centering theory proposed by Grosz et al. [5], [6]. Figure 2 illustrates an example of composite events in

a priest and renamed; (b) He succeed to a house because of retirement of his father; (c) He is helped to the lord, and returned to secular life; (d) He killed his men and he lost trust. We use three simple methods for search of these queries: AND search of two predicates; search wit! the information of predicates and the edge of the predicates in our event graph model; search with the information of predicates, the edge and its label in our event grap n n model. For this experiment, we use 500 Wikipedia articles of Japanese feudal lords. We also use the Japanese Wordnet [9] for comparison of two predicates.
