Leveraging Incrementally Enriched Domain Knowledge to Enhance Service Categorization

This paper reports the authors’ study over an open service and mashup repository, ProgrammableWeb, which groups stored services into predefined categories. Leveraging such a unique structural feature and hidden domain knowledge of the service repository, they extend the Support Vector Machine (SVM)-based text classification technique to enhance service-oriented categorization. An iterative approach is presented to automatically verify and adjust service categorization, which will incrementally enrich domain ontology and in turn enhance the accuracy of service categorization.
