A classification scheme for organizing services based on business objectives, domain, and usage

The Service Metadata makes use of defined semantics, where the semantics may be used for categorization or providing other property and value information for description classes. This requires the following capabilities:

• semantic models that provide normative descriptions of the utilized terms, where the models may range from a simple dictionary of terms to an ontology showing complex relationships and capable of supporting enhanced reasoning;
• mechanisms to support the storage, referencing, and access to these semantic models;
• configuration management mechanisms to capture the normative description of each semantic model and to apply a unique identifier in a manner consistent with an identified versioning scheme;
• one or more mechanisms to support the storage, referencing, and access to conversion relationships between semantic models, and the mechanisms to carry out such conversions.

This Functional Profile includes, but is not limited to, the following capability elaborations:

Service Classification Model with capabilities to create, destroy, edit, maintain service descriptions.

A classification scheme for organizing services based on business objectives, domain, and usage

The ServiceClassification Model implementation includes the following capabilities

• metamodels and semantic annotations that provide normative descriptions of the utilized service description terms, where the models may range from a simple dictionary of terms to an ontology showing complex relationships and capable of supporting enhanced reasoning; Specific semantic concepts to be used include business objectives, domain, and usage.
• mechanisms to support the storage, referencing, and access to these semantic models;
• configuration management mechanisms to capture the normative description of each semantic model and to apply a unique identifier in a manner consistent with an identified versioning scheme;
• one or more mechanisms to support the storage, referencing, and access to conversion relationships between semantic models, and the mechanisms to carry out such conversions.
