Proof-based Automated Web API Composition and Integration

Ruben Verborgh, Thomas Steiner, Erik Mannens, Rik Van de Walle, and Joaquim Gabarró Vallés

Many providers offer Web APIs that expose their services to an ever increasing number of mobile and desktop applications. However, all interactions have to be explicitly programmed by humans. Automated composition of those Web APIs could make it considerably easier to integrate different services from different providers. In this paper, we therefore present an automated Web API composition method, based on theorem-proving principles. The method works with existing Semantic Web reasoners at a Web-scale performance. This makes proof-based composition a good choice for Web API integration. We envision this method for use in different fields, such as multimedia service and social service composition.
