A method of translating and mapping a directory entry, said method comprising
(a) converting said directory entry between a directory-specific data format and a statement format;
(b) translating said directory entry in said statement format from a class of an ontology of a source directory schema to a class of an ontology of a destination directory schema;
(c) mapping said directory entry by providing said directory entry in said statement format and said class of said ontology of said destination directory schema to a mapping function in an execution environment; and
(d) converting said directory entry between said statement format and said directory-specific data format.

Description
This paper presents a novel technique that significantly improves the quality of semantic Web service matching by (1) automatically generating ontologies based on Web service descriptions and (2) using these ontologies to guide the mapping between Web services. Our approach differs from earlier works on ontology learning by considering the relationship
between words rather than treating them as a bag of unrelated words. The experimental results indicate that with our unsupervised approach we can eliminate up to 70% of incorrect matches that are made by dictionary-based approaches. This helps improve the precision of the resulting Web service matches.
