The aim is to enhance the capability-driven selection provided by current SWS frameworks with the introduction of trust-based selection criteria with the introduction of WSTO - Web Services Trust Ontology, which makes use of WSMO as reference ontology for representing Web Services.
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a methodology for addressing trust in Semantic Web Services (SWS) - based applications. The aim is to enhance the capability-driven selection provided by current SWS frameworks with the introduction of trust-based selection criteria. We present an ontology - Web Services Trust Ontology (WSTO) - that models the context of a trust-based interaction and enables the participants to describe semantically their trust requirements and guarantees. WSTO makes use of WSMO as reference ontology for representing Web Services and embodies the problem of finding the most "trusted" Web service as a classification problem. To test our methodology, we implemented a specific module within IRS-III - a WSMO-based SWS broker - and deployed a prototype application based on a use case scenario.

A definition of trust suitable for use in Web-based social networks with a discussion of the properties that will influence its use in computation is introduced and two algorithms for inferring trust relationships between individuals that are not directly connected in the network are presented.
Named Entity recognition without gazetteers

It is shown that, for the text type and task of this competition, it is sufficient to use relatively small gazetteers of well-known names, rather than large gazetters of low-frequency names.
Toward autonomic web services trust and selection
305 Citations2004E. Michael Maximilien, Munindar P. Singh

The PowerBioNE system is the first system which deals with the cascaded entity name phenomenon and the HMM and the k-NN algorithm outperform other models, such as back-off HMM, linear interpolated H MM, support vector machines, C4.5 rules and RIPPER, by effectively capturing the local context dependency and resolving the data sparseness problem.

Agents will increasingly use the combination of semantic markup languages and Semantic Web Services to understand and autonomously manipulate Web content in significant ways and rely on policy-based management and control mechanisms to ensure respect for human-imposed constraints on agent interaction.
