This paper transfers the concept of commodity services from economics to application services in IT. Furthermore, the ongoing commoditisation trend will be stated as a top-level criterion towards the decision which application services within an IT-landscape are suitable towards semantic service provisioning. The globalisation of everyday business and increasing international trade are leading to a growing need to improve national and international, inter-company and intra-company service collaborations and transactions in various business-to-business (B2B), business-to-government (B2G) and business-to-customer (B2C) usage scenarios. Thereby, services capture an essential amount of business transactions (gross domestic products) in industrialised nations and over years, it has been possible to detect an ongoing trend towards the growing interest in the automation of service provisioning processes (e.g. [HP88] and [DCM+09]). As a result, new disciplines, e.g. service sciences [MKS10], are dealing with holistic considerations towards the development and implementation of services. Particularly, the provisioning of services by the means of ontologies-based business integration offer an important advantage through the promise of high innovations at low costs through the absence of human intervention in the provisioning process. It should be emphasised that comprehensive concepts and languages for technical implementation of semantic service provisioning have already been described in scientific publications, e.g. [FKM08] and [KTS+08].» weiterlesen» einklappen
