| Abstract | This paper reports our experience when integrating differ resources andservices into a grid environment. The use case we address implies thedeployment of several NLP applications as web services. The ultimate objectiveof this task was to create a scenario where researchers have access to avariety of services they can operate. These services should be easy to invokeand able to interoperate between one another.We essentially describe the interoperability problems we faced, which involvemetadata interoperability, data interoperability and service interoperability.We devote special attention to service interoperability and explore thepossibility to define common interfaces and semantic description of services.While the web services paradigm suits the integration of different servicesvery well, this requires mutual understanding and the accommodation to commoninterfaces that not only provide technical solution but also ease the user‟swork. Defining common interfaces benefits interoperability but requires theagreement about operations and the set of inputs/outputs. Semantic annotationallows defining some sort of taxonomy that organizes and collects the set ofadmissible operations and types input/output parameters. |
