Abstract

Since the advent of Web 2.0, RESTful services have become an increasing phenomenon. Currently, Semantic Web technologies are being integrated into Web 2.0 services for both to leverage each other strengths. The need to take advantage of data available in RESTful services in the scope of Semantic Web evidences the difficulties to cope with syntactic and semantic description of the services. In this paper we present an approach to tackle the problem of automatic the semantic annotation of RESTful services using a cross-domain ontology, a semantic resource (DBpedia) and additional external resources (suggestion and synonyms services) to annotate the parameters of the RESTful services. We also present a preliminary evaluation that proves the feasibility of our approach and highlights that it is possible to carry out this semantic annotation with satisfactory results.
