A semantic data mediator framework to support automation of web services data mediation
Most businesses nowadays use Web Services (WS) technology as a platform to facilitate interaction between service providers and requestors. Data mediators in these services play an important role in ensuring successful interactions; however, the Semantic Web Service (SWS) still faces great challenge...
