Semantic Discovery of Cloud Service Catalog Published Over Resource Description Framework

Abstract

Cloud computing is a model to provide pool of services on demand which is shared among the consumers and metered. Cloud deployment should support efficient mechanism to publish its services in a right method such that the end users identify them. Services has to be discovered according to user’s requirement dynamically. The proposed work discusses about introducing semantics in the cloud services description, such that it projects itself apart from other providers and capably handle the commercial demand for their services. The semantics are introduced at the service catalog level and the CSP publish their list of services in the form of RDF, whose semantics are defined in a provider specific ontology. The system was evaluated with keyword & frequency matching discovery and proved to be efficient with semantic discovery over RDF data.
