With the increasing growth in popularity of Web services and SOA, discovering
relevant Web services becomes a significant challenge. The introduction of intentional
services is necessary to bridge the gap between low level, technical software-servi
ce
descriptions and high level, strategic expressions of business needs for services.
Current Web Services technology based on UDDI and WSDL does not make use of
this “intention” and therefore fails to address the problem of matching between capabilities
of services and business user needs.
This work addresses the problem of intentional semantic web service search in
Arabic, where a novel approach is proposed for partitioning user goals based on Arabic
verb ontology, in addition to showing a practical example about the effect of applying verb
ontology in intentional web service search.
