Connecting Isolated Service Islands into Global Social Service Network

It is considered that Web services has been considered to have a tremendous impact on the web, as a potential silver bullet for supporting distributed service-based economy at a global scale. However, despite the outstanding progress their uptake on a Web-scale has been significantly less prominent than initially anticipated. The reasons are: first, isolated service islands without links to related services have hampered service discovery and composition; second, the existing Web service frameworks such as "traditional" Web services, semantic Web services, and Web APIs have failed to find an adequate trade-off between the expressivity and semantics of the service descriptions. In this paper, we propose a methodology to evolve from the isolated service islands into Global Social Service Network. First, we propose Linked Social service-specific based on Linked data principles to publish many services on the web as linked social services by using our new service model and suggest a new platform for constructing Global Social Service Network. And then, the experiment results show that Linked Social Service can connects distributed service into Global Social Service Network.
