Abstract

With the advent of Web 2.0, OpenAPIs are becoming an increasing trend to emphasize Web as platform recently. OpenAPIs are used to combine services and generate new services by mashup. However because the standard documents for OpenAPIs do not exist, it may restrict the use of OpenAPIs. Previous studies of OpenAPIs mashup have been limited to tool design or language definition for service combination rather than dynamic composition. On the other hand, Web services that are a software technology implementing SOA provide standard documents such as WSDL to explain each service, UDDI to register it, and SOAP to transfer messages. Thus Web applications can interpret and execute services by using these technologies. Recent works have also been performed to provide semantic features and dynamic composition for SOA. If a dynamic and systematic approach is provided to combine Web services and OpenAPIs, Web applications can provide users with diverse services. In this study, we present a SOA based framework for mashup of OpenAPIs and Web services. The framework supports dynamic composition of OpenAPIs and Web services, where the process of composite services is described in OWL-S. A prototype is provided to validate our framework. The framework is expected to add diversity to typical Web services.

최근 웹 2.0의 등장과 함께 플랫폼으로서의 웹이 강조되어 OpenAPI가 급격히 증가하고 있다. OpenAPI는 서비스를 결합한 새로운 서비스를 만들기 위하여 사용된다. 하지만 OpenAPI는 표준 문서가 존재하지 않아 사용에 한계가 있다. 그래서 기존 매쉬업 연구는 동적 서비스 합성보다는 주로 도구 설계나 서비스 결합을 위한 언어 정의에 국한되고 있다. 반면 SOA 구현 기술 중의 하나인 웹서비스는 서비스 설명을 위한 WSDL, 서비스 등록을 위한 UDDI, 메시지 전송을 위한 SOAP 등의 표준 문서를 제공한다. 이러한 기술들을 이용하여 웹 애플리케이션이 서비스를 해석하여 실행시킬 수 있다. 그리고 최근 SOA 연구에서는 서비스의 동적 합성과 의미적 특성을 지원한다. 만약 웹 서비스와 OpenAPI를 결합하는 동적이고 체계적인 방법이 제공된다면 웹 애플리케이션은 다양한 서비스를 사용자에게 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 OpenAPI와 웹 서비스의 매쉬업을 위한 SOA 기반 프레임워크를 제시한다. 본 프레임워크는 합성된 서비스의 프로세스는 OWL-S로 표현하여 OpenAPI와 웹 서비스의 동적 합성을 지원한다. 그리고 프로토타입을 통하여 본 프레임워크의 유효성을 보인다. 본 프레임워크는 기존 웹 서비스에 다양성을 부여할 것으로 기대된다.
