Foreword

Currently, computer science is in a new period of abstraction. A generation ago we learned to abstract from hardware and currently we are learning to abstract from software in terms of service-oriented architectures. It is the service that counts for a customer and not the specific software or hardware that is used to implement the service. Therefore, service orientation will quickly become the leading software paradigm. However, service-oriented architectures will not scale without signification mechanization of o Service discovery, service adaptation, negotiation, service composition, service invocation, and service monitoring o Data and process mediation Therefore, machine-processable semantics need to be added to bring service orientation to its full potential. This is the mission and the vision to which DERI Innsbruck, together with its sister institutes in Ireland, Korea and the United States, are committed. We are jointly developing open standards and open source architectures and tools that add semantics to service descriptions. In Innsbruck, we would like to thank the Tiroler Zukunftsstiftung and the University of Innsbruck for providing us with excellent support in achieving our mission. We would also like to thank the Austrian Government for providing the FIT-IT Program for Semantic Systems and the European Union for being the major sponsor of DERI Innsbruck throughout its IST program. This report gives a detailed overview of the achievements of DERI Innsbruck since its foundation in September 2002

until August 2006. We hope to herewith provide a solid basis for its evaluation.

Making semantics Real

The.mission.of.the.Digital.Enterprise.Research.Institute.(DERI).is.to.establish.semantics.as.a.core.pillar.of.modern.computer.engineering..This.need.arises.from.the.fact.that.IT.systems are interwoven on a world wide scale and this layering requires significant human support. It would be more efficient if system interoperability could be mechanised. This mechanisation. can. only. be. achieved. through. the. description. of. data. and. processes,.namely.by.adding.semantics.to.them.

Achieving.semantic.description.of.computing.is.a.stepwise.process..It.started.with.the.Semantic.Web,.took.the.next.step.with.Semantic.Web.Services,.and.it.is.currently.in.a.transition.period.towards.Semantically.Enabled.Service-oriented.Architectures.(SESA)..

semantic Web Technology

Tim.Berners-Lee,.Director.of.the.World.Wide.Web.Consortium,.referred.to.the.future.of.the.current.World.Wide.Web.as.the.“Semantic.Web“.-.an.extended.Web.of.machine-readable.information.and.automated.services.that.reaches.far.beyond.current.capabilities..The.explicit.representation.of.the.semantics.underlying.data,.programs,.pages,.and.other.Web.resources,.will.enable.a.knowledge-based.Web.that.provides.a.qualitatively.new.level.of.service..Automated.services.will.improve.in.their.capacity.to.assist.humans.in.achieving.their.goals.by.“understanding“.more.of.the.content.on.the.Web,.and.thus.providing.more.accurate filtering, categorization, and searches of information sources. This process will ultimately lead to an extremely knowledgeable system that features various specialized reasoning.services..These.services.will.support.us.in.nearly.all.aspects.of.our.daily.life.-.making.access.to.information.as.pervasive,.and.if.necessary,.as.access.to.electricity..is.today..

semantic Web services

The current Web is mainly a collection of flat or one-dimensional information. It does not. provide. support. in. processing. this. information. -. adding. an. extra. dimension. -. nor.does.it.allow.the.computer.to.be.used.as.a.computational.device..Recent.efforts.around.UDDI,.WSDL,.and.SOAP.have. tried. to. lift. the.Web.to.a.new. level.of.service..Software.applications. can. be. accessed. and. executed. via. the. Web. by. way. of. Web. services..Web services can significantly increase the Web architecture‘s potential by providing automated.program.communication,.discovery.of.services,.composition.of.services,.etc..Consequently,.they.are.the.focus.of.much.interest.from.various.software.development.companies.. Web. Services. connect. computers. and. devices. to. each. other. using. the.Internet.to.exchange.data.and.combine.data.in.new.ways..The.key.to.the.real.potential.of Web Services will be on-the-fly software composition through the use of loosely coupled,.reusable.software.components..This.will.have.fundamental.implications.in.both.technical and business terms. Software will be delivered and paid for as fluid streams of services.as.opposed.to.packaged.products..It.is.possible.to.achieve.automatic,.ad.hoc.interoperability between systems to accomplish organizational tasks. Still, more work needs. to. be. done. before. the. Web. service. infrastructure. can. make. this. vision. come.true. Current Web service technology provides limited support in mechanizing service recognition, service configuration and combination (i.e., realizing complex workflows and business.logics.with.Web.services),.service.comparison.and.automated.negotiation..In.a business environment, the vision of flexible and autonomous Web service translates into. automatic. cooperation. between. enterprise. services.. Any. enterprise. requiring. a.business.interaction.with.another.enterprise.can.automatically.discover.and.select.the.appropriate.optimal.Web.services.relying.on.selection.policies..Services.can.be.invoked.automatically. and. payment. processes. can. be. initiated.. Any. necessary. mediation. will.be.applied.based.on.data.and.process.ontologies.and. the.automatic. translation.and.semantic.interoperation.

semantically Enabled service-oriented Architectures

Computer.science. is.entering.a.new.paradigm..The.previous.paradigm.was.based.on.abstracting.from.hardware..The.emerging.one.comes.from.abstracting.from.software.and.regards.all.resources.as.services.in.a.Service-Oriented.Architecture.(SOA)..„A.Service-Oriented.Architecture.is.essentially.a.collection.of.services..These.services.communicate.with.each.other..The.communication.can.involve.either.simple.data.passing.or.it.could.involve. two. or. more. services. coordinating. some. activity.. Some. means. of. connecting.services. to. each. other. is. needed.“. In. a. world. of. services,. users. are. only. concerned..about.the.services.and.not.about.any.software.or.hardware.components.that.implement.the.service..Service-Oriented.Computing. is.rapidly.becoming.the.dominant.computing.paradigm.

A.service-oriented.world.will.have.billions.of.services..Computation.will.involve.services.searching. for. services. based. on. functional. and. non-functional. requirements. and.interoperating.with.those.that.they.select..However,.services.will.not.be.able.to.interact.automatically and SOAs will not scale without significant mechanization of service discovery,.negotiation,.adaptation,.composition,.invocation,.and.monitoring..Additionally.service. interaction. will. require. further. data,. protocol,. and. process. mediation.. Hence,.machine.processable.semantics.are.critical.for.the.next.generation.of.computing.-.SOAs.-.to.reach.its.full.potential..Only.with.semantics.can.critical.subtasks.be.automated.and.allowing.people.to.spend.less.time.on.minor.tasks.and.more.time.focusing.on.problem.solving.

The. goal. of. Semantically. Enabled. Service-Oriented. Architectures. (SESA). is. to. place.semantics at the core of computer science in order to realize the potential of the next generation.of.computing..What.has.started.as.semantic.annotation.of.data.and.semantic.service endpoint specification will be transformed into a next generation operating system.that.provides.seamless.and.transparent.integration.of.billions.of.services.on.a.global.scale..Semantic.descriptions.will.enable.computing.to.become.a.utility,. just.as.today’s.electricity.

2 ACHIEVEMENTs

This section briefly highlights the major achievements of DERI Innsbruck over the last few.years..Our.main.goal. is.driving. the.development.of.open.standards,.open.source.architectures.and.tools.that.add.semantics.to.service.descriptions...Our.major.impacts.in.this.area.can.be.best.evidenced.by.the.following:.

• Our prevalent influence on international standardization bodies such as the World Wide Web consortium (W3C) or the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information.Standards.(OASIS)

•. Our.active. tool.development.as.sustainable.proof.of. the.concepts.developed. in.our.international.research.efforts.together.with.industrial.and.academic.partners

A few of DERI’s greatest contributions to this rapidly developing field are summarized in the following.sections.

Foundation of International Working Groups:WsMo, WsML, WsMX

DERI.Innsbruck.founded.and.leads.a.number.of.international.working.groups.that.focus.on the Standardization of the Semantic Web and Semantic Web service technologies.


WsMo: http://www.wsmo.org

The.Web.Service.Modeling.Ontology.(WSMO).working.group.is.an.international.effort.with.more.than.70 participants from more than 10 different academic and industrial organizations. The overall goal of.the.WSMO.working.group.is.to.build.up.a.conceptual.model.for.the.Semantic.description.and.usage.of.Web.Services..The.WSMO.working.group,.part.of.the.ESSI.Cluster.(http://www.essi-cluster.org),.aligns.the.research.and. development. efforts. in. the. area. of. Semantic. Web. services. between. the. ASG,. SEKT,. DIP. and.Knowledge. Web. research. projects.. Members. of. this. working. group. include. key. participants. with.expertise.in.Semantic.Web-related.research.areas..Through.the.alignment.of.key.European.research.projects.in.the.Semantic.Web.service.area,.it.is.the.mission.of.the.ESSI.WSMO.working.group.to.further.develop.Semantic.Web.services.and.work.towards.further standardizations in the area of Semantic Web service languages, resulting in a common architecture.and.platform.for.Semantic.Web.services.

To this end, WSMO provides the basis for Semantic Web services by specifying a fully -fledged framework: starting.with.a.conceptual.model,.continuing.with.a.formal.language.that.provides.a.formal.syntax.and.semantics.(based.on.different.logics.in.order.to.provide.different.levels.of.logical.expressiveness).for.the.conceptual.model,.and.conclusing.with.an.execution.environment,.one.which.glues.together.all.the.necessary.components.that.are.essential.to.providing.automated.services...The.WSMO.working.group. includes. the. Web. Services. Modeling. Language. working. group. (http://www.wsmo.org/wsml),.which aims at developing a language called Web Service Modeling Language (WSML) that formalizes WSMO,.and.the.WSMX.working.group.(http://www.wsmx.org),.which.aims.at.providing.an.execution.environment. and. a. reference. implementation. for. WSMO.. The. picture. below. depicts. the. relations.among.these.efforts.

WsML: http://www.wsmo.org/wsml

The. ESSI. WSML. working. group,. part. of. the. ESSI. WSMO. working. group,. aligns. the. research. and.development. efforts. in. the. areas. of. Semantic. Web. Services. among. the. European. research.projects.

The.WSML.working.group.shares.the.same.mission.with.the.WSMO.working.group;.i.e.,.to.align.the.key.European.research.projects.in.the.area.of.SWS.in.order.to.further.develop.SWS.and.work.toward.further standardizations of SWS languages, resulting in a common architecture and platform for SWS. Specifically, the working group aims at developing a language called Web Service Modeling Language (WSML) that formalizes the Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO). Hereby, we have a twofold.mission:

• Develop a proper formalization language for Semantic Web services.•. Provide.a.rule-based.language.for.the.Semantic.Web

The major achievements of the Working Group so far can be summarized as follows:

•. Formal.Language.for.Semantic.Web.Services,.Based.on.WSML:.. The.Web.Service.Modeling.Language.v0.21.(http://www.wsmo.org/wsml/wsml-syntax#).,.which.

forms.the.basis.for.all.ongoing.tool.development.around.WSML.and.SEE.(Semantic.Execution.Environment).was.released.in.March.2005..WSML.offers.the.choice.of.an.expressive.Description.Logic.variant,.WSML-DL,.equivalent.to.the.W3C.standard.OWL,.and.an.expressive.rule.variant,.WSML-Rule,.based.on.research. in.the.use.of.Logic.Programming.for.Semantic.Web.services..WSML allows the specification of all aspects of the WSMO, namely goals, web services, ontologies, and mediators, in order to provide fully-fledged Web service description.

•. Rule.Language.for.the.Semantic.Web:.. The.rule-based.variant.of.WSML,.WSML-Rule,.forms.the.basis.for.the.Web.Rule.Language.WRL.

(http://www.w3.org/Submission/WRL).. WRL. is. proposed. as. a. rule. language. for. the. Semantic.Web. and. allows. rule-based. ontology. modeling.. Interoperation. with. OWL. is. achieved. through.a.common.subset..WRL. is.one.of. the.starting.points. for. the. recently. started.W3C.RIF. (Rule.Interchange.Format).working.group,.which.aims.to.provide.a.language.for.rule.interchange.over.the.Semantic.Web..The.WSML.working.group.is.heavily.involved.in.this.W3C.working.group.and.will.continue.to.contribute.to.an.international.standard.for.rules.on.the.Semantic.Web.

•. WSML.Tool.Support:. Several.tools.have.been.developed,.and.are..currently.being.developed.in.order.to.provide.user.

support.for.WSML..The.WSML.working.group.is.greatly.involved.in.many.of.these.efforts.


There.are.four.main.WSML.tools:

1... WSMO4J.-.An.API.and.reference.implementation.for.WSML.v0.21..WSMO4J.is.used.in.all.other.WSML.tools..http://wsmo4j.sourceforge.net

2. WSML Validator -A syntactical validator for WSML v0.21, which validates a WSML specification against.the.WSML.grammar.and.can.validate.and.determine.the.WSML.variant..http://tools.deri.org/wsml/validator

3... WSML.Reasoners.-.Provide.basic.reasoning.tasks.such.as.a.reasoner.for.WSML-Rule.v0.21.can.be. found.at:.http://tools.deri.org/wsml/rule-reasoner..A. reasoner. for.WSML-DL.v0.21.can.be.found.at:.http://tools.deri.org/wsml/dl-reasoner.

4... Web.Service.Modeling.Toolkit.WSMT.v1.0.-.A.graphical.tool.for.modeling.WSML.goals,.Web.services,. ontologies. and. mediators,. as. well. as. performing. Web. service. mediation. and.invocation.

WsMX: http://www.wsmx.org

The.Web.Service.Execution.Environment.(WSMX)..is.an.execution.environment.for.the.dynamic.dis-covery,.selection,.mediation,.invocation.and.inter.operation.of.the.Semantic.Web.services.providing.a.reference.implementation.for.a.service-oriented.architecture.that.uses.semantic.annotation.of.all.its major elements. A general architecture as well as necessary components have been defined and the interfaces and communication of the components have been standardized. WSMX is a refer-ence implementation for WSMO. The development process for WSMX includes defining its concep-tual model (which is WSMO), standardizing the execution semantics for the environment, describing an.architecture.and.software.design,.and.building.a.working.implementation..While.WSMX.is.to.remain.a.reference.implementation.of.the.Semantic.Web.service.systems,.at.this.stage its major purpose is to also trigger standardization activities in OASIS and to connect all Eu-ropean SWS efforts. WSMX will then provide justification for and description of the Semantic Web service infrastructure in general terms (on the conceptual level), rather than only focus on specific implementation..DERI.has.contributed.WSMX.conceptual.work.and.its.reference.implementation.to.the open source community as a platform for research and development. WSMX specification has been.relabelled.and.is.currently.further.developed.through.OASIS.as.the.Semantic.Execution.Envi-ronment (SEE). The roadmap for the realization of the long-term SEE goal is the OASIS SEE standards activity.initiated.in.November.2005.In the figure below we present the WSMX architecture and its key components.


WSMX’s.internal.language.is.WSML..WSMX.is.a.useful.framework.for.both.Web.service.providers.and.requesters..As.a.provider,.one.may.register.its.service.using.WSMX.in.order.to.make.it.available.to.the.consumers.and,.as.a.requester,.one can find the Web services that suit their needs and then invoke them in a transparent, secure and reliable way. WSMX itself is made available as a Web service, so to either find a Web service or invok a Web services, a requester can simply invoke WSMX itself. In the first case, a formal de-scription.of.a.requester.goal.must.be.provided,.whereas.in.the.second.case,.the.actual.data.the.requester.wants.to.use.for.the.invocation..In.this.way,.WSMX.can.take.care.of.all.the.other.required.computations.such.as.heterogeneity.reconciliation,.composition,.security.or.compensation.


Impact on International standardization Bodies

The.WSMO,.WSML.and.WSMX.working.groups.have.already.achieved.serious.impact.on.various.international standardization bodies.

Web service Modeling ontology (WsMo) W3C Member submission

DERI.Innsbruck,.at.the.University.of.Innsbruck,.Austria,.together.with.DERI.Galway.at.the.National.University.of.Ireland,.Galway,.Ireland,.British.Telecom.UK,.The.Open.University.UK,.and.SAP.AG.Germany.submitted.the.results.of. the.WSMO,.WSML.and.WSMX.working.groups.towards.a.family.of.standards.for.Semantic.Web.Services.as.a.member.submission.to.the.World.Wide.Web.Consortium..The.member.submission.has.been.acknowledged.and.is.available.at:.http://www.w3.org/Submission/2005/06

The.strong.need.for.such.a.standard.is.documented.in.a.recent.W3C.Workshop.on.Frameworks.for.Semantics.in Web Services in Innsbruck. This workshop was locally organized by DERI Innsbruck and has been the first W3C.workshop.ever.held.in.Austria..As.one.of.the.results.of.this.workshop,.the.W3C.has.started.a.working.group.for.Semantic.Annotations.of.WSDL,.with.DERI.Innsbruck.representatives.serving.as.the.chairman.and.an editor of the specification. For further information on this WG see http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/sawsdl/

Finally,.the.WSMO.working.group.is.also.represented.in.the.Web.Service.Description.working.group.of.the.W3C, where we work on WSDL RDF mapping, a specification connecting WSDL Web service descriptions with the.Semantic.Web,.which.can.be.found.at.http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl20-rdf/

Web Rule Language (WRL) W3C Member submission

DERI.Innsbruck,.at.the.University.of.Innsbruck,.Austria,.together.with.DERI.Galway.at.the.National.University.of Ireland, Galway, Ireland, the Open University UK, Software AG Germany, Forschungszentrum Informatik (FZI).Germany,.British.Telecom.UK,.and.National.Research.Council.Canada.submitted.results.of.the.WSML.working groups as a separate W3C member submission towards a standardized Rule Language for the Web. The.member.submission.has.been.acknowledged.and.is.available.at:http://www.w3.org/Submission/2005/08

The.strong.need.for.such.a.language.is.documented.by.a.W3C.Workshop.on.Rules.in.April.2005.in.Washington.(where.DERI.Innbruck.was.represented.with.2.position.papers).and.the.establishment.of.a.Rules.working.group.within.the.W3C..DERI.Innbruck.was.involved.in.the.establishment.of.the.charter.and.provides.strong.involvement.in.the.resulting.W3C.working.group.

oAsIs semantic Execution Environment Technical Committee

Driven.by. the. ideas.developed. in. the.WSMX.working.group,.a. technical.committee. in.OASIS.has.been formed, and is chaired by DERI Innsbruck‘s Dr. Michal Zaremba and Open University‘s Dr. John Domingue.

The. OASIS. SEE. TC. aims. to. continue.work. initiated.by. the. WSMX. project. and.working. group. and.several.other.projects.in.Europe.such.as.DIP.(http://dip.semanticweb.org),.ASG.(http://asg-platform.org),.KnowledgeWeb.(http://knowledgeweb.semanticweb.org),.and.SUPER.(http://super.semanticweb.org).and.other.projects.in.the.area.of.Semantic.Web.services..The.aim.of.the.OASIS.SEE.TC.is.to.provide guidelines, justifications and implementation directions for an execution environment for Semantic.Web.services..The.resulting. infrastructure.will. incorporate.the.application.of.semantics.to.service-oriented.systems.and.will.provide.intelligent.mechanisms.for.consuming.Semantic.Web.services.

ARCHIVE

Dr. Anna V. Zhdanova

We were very much pleased to host Anna Zhdanova on her travel from the very far East towards the Western World. Who would have ever predicted that a scientist stemming from Novosi-birsk would be the first female in Tyrol to earn a PhD degree in Computer Science?

Dr. Axel PolleresAxel Polleres was joining DERI Inns-bruck in 2003 and soon became one of the corner stones in building up the team. His excellence in giving not only single answers but entire sets of them was appreciated by all of us and we wish him great success for his future career that brought him currently to Spain.

Dr. Christoph Bussler

Christoph Bussler has been the co-founder of DERI in Galway and was also helping in Innsbruck. Without him there would be no DERI. We wish him the best in sunny California!

Business. Process. Management. focuses. on. managing. the.execution.of.IT-supported.business.operations.from.a.business.expert‘s process view rather than from a technical perspective. The underlying motivation for BPM is that organizations need to. continuously. align. their. running. business. processes,. as.executed. within. multiple. heterogeneous. systems,. with. the.required. processes. as. derived. from. business. needs.. BPM.has gained significant attention in both research and industry, and.a.range.of.BPM.tools.are.available..However,.the.degree.of mechanization in BPM is currently very limited. The major obstacle.preventing.a.coherent.view.on.business.processes.is.that.the.business.processes.are.not.accessible.to.machine.reasoning..Additionally,.businesses.cannot.query.their.process.space.by.logical.expressions,.e.g..in.order.to.identify.activities.relevant. to. comply. with. regulations.. Founded. on. ontologies.Semantic. Web. technology. provides. scalable. methods. and.tools.for.the.machine-readable.representation.of.knowledge..Semantic. Web. Services. (SWS). make. use. of. Semantic. Web.technology.to.support.the.automated.discovery,.substitution,.composition,. and. execution. of. software. components. (Web.Services).. BPM. is. a. natural. application. for. Semantic. Web.and.SWS.technology,.because.the.latter.provide.large-scale,.standardized knowledge representation techniques for executable. artefacts.. Our. proposal. is. to. combine. SWS. and.BPM, and develop one consolidated technology. Specifically, we will create horizontal ontologies which describe business processes;.vertical.telecommunications.oriented.ontologies.to.support domainspecific annotation for our chosen economic sector;.and.a.suite.of.tools.based.on.the.results.of.the.SEKT.and.

This. process. will. ultimately. lead. to. an. extremely. knowledgeable. system. that. features.various specialized reasoning services.

The research at DERI Galway is organized around two major research themes:•. Semantic.Web•. Semantic.Web.Services

The.Semantic.Web.research.is.focused.on.creating.fundamental.semantic.technologies.in.a.range.of.computing.environments..These.include.but.are.not.limited.to.online.social.networks,.the.personal.computer.desktop,.and.ambient. intelligence. in.complex.business. innovation.environments.. . The.research.also.covers.aspects.of.eCommerce.economic.theory..

The.Semantic.Web.services.research.is.divided.into.three.main.strands.• Industrial and Scientific Applications of Semantic Web Services (INSA)•. Semantic.Integration.in.Business.(SIB)•. Semantic.Execution.Environment.(SEE)

The first two areas will apply Semantic Web services to industrial, scientific and business applications, while.the.latter.area.is.concerned.with.incorporating.semantic.technology.around.existing.computer.systems thereby enabling them to exchange data or “talk” in a meaningful way.

Together.Semantic.Web.and.Semantic.Web.service.research.will.provide.the.basis. for. real.world.solutions.to.the.challenges.of.knowledge.management,.enterprise.application.integration.and.fully.flexible e-Commerce.

DERI stanford

The.Digital.Enterprise.Research.Institute.Stanford.is.based.within.the.Stanford.University.Computer.Science Department. The scientific director is Professor Michael Genesereth. The executive director is Dr. Charles Petrie. The mission of DERI Stanford is “Policy-Based Enterprise Management:” to enable.extended.enterprises.to.monitor.and.effect.change.within.distributed.enterprise.processes.consistent.with.the.policies,.goals,.and.regulations.of.all.process.participants.

Our.approach.is.to.use.familiar.business.paradigms.to.harness.the.power.of.computational. logic.for data integration, open workflow management, and business service integration, . The major projects are Open Workflow Management (OWM), Data Integration, Web Service Integration, and Logical.Spreadsheets...

The.OWM.project.is.developing.formal.models.that.will.facilitate.the.synthesis.of.the.processes.of.an.enterprise.based.upon.the.enterprise.policies.and.external.constraints,.and.then.manage.the.execution.of.those.processes..A.subproject.of.OWM.is.Computational.Law:.the.study.of.combining.regulations,.laws,.and.policies.from.different.sources.Data. Integration.uses.computational. logic. to. combine.data. from.different. sources..Web.Service.Integration.uses.both.policy.and.data.integration.for.the.integration.of.Web.services.consistent.with.policies.of. the.enterprises. involved. in.the. integration..The.Logical.Spreadsheets.project.provides.familiar interfaces to these compuational logic-based functions. The first example is the use of logical.formulas,.instead.of.numerical.ones,.in.the.form.of.familiar.spreadsheets.

Currently,.DERI.Stanford.exchanges.researchers.with.DERI.International.and.is.working.on.a.similar.exchange.with.the.Hasso.Plattner.Institute,.as.well.as.developing.an.industrial.consortium.in.order.to.further.enterprise.management.research.
