The key problem with current approaches to finding relevant Web services is that most of them only provide searches over a discrete set of features using exact keyword matching. We demonstrate in this paper that by utilizing well known indexing scheme such as inverted file and R-tree indexes over Web services attributes, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) algorithm can be used efficiently to find partial matches between a query and a database of Web services.en© AuthorsWeb servicesSearch engineEarth mover’s distanceConference paper003000751110.1145/2600428.26111790004507176001932-s2.0-8490456226572817
