A MOF-based Social Web Services Description Metamodel

Abstract

To make IT community adopt social Web services, both social Web service-based applications and their support platforms should evolve independently from each other while sharing a common model that represent the characteristics of these social Web services. This paper proposes a model-driven approach that achieves this duality. First, the approach identifies a social Web service's properties. Then a Meta-Object-Facility(MOF)-based social Web services description metamodel is developed. A prototype illustrates how the proposed MOF-based metamodel is used.
