An Ontological SW Architecture Supporting Contribution and Retrieval of Service and Process Models

We describe a SW architecture that uses ontologies to represent the semantics of services and their related resources and context of use. Composition and adaptation rules enable automated reasoning in the solution of a number of relevant use cases: classification of the user profile; identification of the composition of services that apply to a specific user: identification of information resources related with a specific service composition; automated generation of a web portal supporting inspection of resources adapted to user's characteristics. We also report on the demonstration of the architecture in the case of a web portal for the access to social and healthcare services.
