FW: METEOR-S Web Service Annotation Framework Release

["Chiusano Joseph" <chiusano_joseph@bah.com>]

FYI for awareness, from the W3C Semantic Web Services Interest Group -
not sure if this is valuable to our initiative or not. "MWSAF(METEOR-S
Web Service Annotation Framework) provides a GUI which enables users to
semi-automatically annotate Web services with existing ontologies.".

Cheers,

Hi,

The METEOR-S team at the  LSDIS Lab is pleased to announce the release
of the METEOR-S Web Service Annotation Framework (MWSAF). Here are the
highlights of this tool:

* MWSAF(METEOR-S Web Service Annotation Framework) provides a GUI which
  enables users to semi-automatically annotate Web services with
existing
  ontologies.

* It uses a variety of matching algorithms and techniques for
  predicting the matches. Some of the algorithms /techniques used are
    -  NGram for linguistic similarity
    -  Exploitation of relationships in wordnet
    -  Abbreviation dictionary
 Further details of these algorithms are present in our WWW2004 paper
available at http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/lib/download/POSV-WWW2004.pdf

* This release includes source code and samples and can be accessed at
  http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/Projects/METEOR-S/MWSAF/

* The METEOR-S project aims to develop a suite of tools for the complete
  lifecycle of Semantic Web Processes and the timeline for the release
of
  other tools like the semantic Web service publisher and dynamic
service
  composer and optimizer is present on our project page at
  http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/Projects/METEOR-S

* Please feel free to post queries and comments about our tools and
paper

Thanks,
The METEOR-S Team
