IRS-III Hands On Task: 

IRS-III Hands On Task Develop an application for the European Travel scenario based on SWS. The application should support a person booking a train ticket between 2 European cities at a specific time and date Create Goal, Web service and Mediator WSMO descriptions in IRS-III (european-travel-service-descriptions) for available services. Your descriptions should choose a specific service depending on the start and end locations and the type of traveller. Use the assumption slot to do this Publish available lisp functions against your descriptions Invoke the web services Solution to be shown at the end of the session

Key Classes, Relations, Instances : 

Key Classes, Relations, Instances Is-in-country <city> <country> e.g. (is-in-country berlin germany) -> true (student <person>) -> true, for john matt michal (business-person <person>) -> true, for liliana michael

Goals: 

Goals 1- Get train timetable Inputs: origin and destination cities (city), date (date-and-time, e.g. (18 4 2004)) Output: timetable (string) 2- Book train Inputs: passenger name (person), origin and destination cities, departure time-date (list-date-and-time), e.g. (20 33 16 15 9 2004)) Output: booking information (string)

Services: 

Services 1 service available for goal 1 No constraints 6 services available for goal 2 As a provider write the constraints applicable to the services to satisfy the goal (assumption logical expressions) 1 wg-mediator mediation-service Used to convert time in list format to time in universal format

Service constraints: 

Service constraints Services 2-5 Services for (origin and destination) cities in determined countries Service 4-5 Need a mediation service to map goal time-date to service time-date Services 6-7 Services for students or business people in Europe

SWS Creation & Usage Steps: 

SWS Creation & Usage Steps Create a goal description (e.g. multiply-goal) Add input and output roles Include role type and soap binding Create a wg-mediator description Source = goal Possibly add a mediation service Create a web service description Used-mediator of WS capability = wg-mediator above Specify Operation <-> Lisp function mapping in Choreography Grounding Publish against web service description Invoke web service by ‘achieve goal’

Multiple WS for goal: 

Multiple WS for goal Each WS has a mediator for used-mediator slot of capability Some WS may share a mediator Define a kappa expression for assumption slot of WS capability Kappa expression format (kappa (?goal) <ocml relations>) Getting the value of an input role (wsmo-role-value ?goal <role-name>)

Defining a Mediation Service: 

Defining a Mediation Service Define a wg-mediator Source = goal Mediation-service = goal for mediation service Mediation goal Mediation goal input roles are a subset of goal input roles Define mediator and WS as normal

Goal Based Invocation: 

Goal Based Invocation Instantiate Goal Description Exchange-rate-goal Has-source-currency: us-dollars Has-target-currency: pound Web Service Discovery European-exchange-rate-ws Non-european-exchange-rate-ws European-bank-exchange-rate-ws Solve Goal Goal -> WG Mediator -> WS/Capability/Used-mediator Web service selection European-exchange-rate Mediate input values ‘$’ -> us-dollar WS -> Capability -> Assumption expression Mediation Invoke selected web service European-exchange-rate Invocation

Valid Relations: 

Valid Relations Classes are unary relations e.g. (country ?x) Slots are binary relations e.g. (is-capital-of ?x ?y) Standard relations in base (OCML toplevel) ontology =, ==, <, >, member

European Currency Assumption: 

European Currency Assumption (kappa (?goal) (member (wsmo-role-value ?goal 'has_source_currency) '(euro pound)))

Tips: 

Tips Order matters for input roles Input roles in goal must match order of arguments to function Need to specify both input roles and output role Be careful with soap binding sexpr as default String for one line output Use xml for multiple line output Input roles for web services inherited from goal Slot names can not be the same as class names Goal <-> web service linking mediator in the capability used mediators
