Service Integration Methodology for Convergence Service in Science and Technology

Abstract

To facilitate the open science in research lifecycle, reconstructing individual services into modular and independent function blocks that can be reusable and interoperable. Over the years, more REST based web services have been deployed in the enterprise application that is integrated with services from different sources with existing functionality over HTTP. This results in an increasing interoperability and supporting seamless integration compared to traditional web services. Despite this trend, there are still no standards or guidelines about how to develop a RESTful web service for S&T knowledge infrastructure. In this paper we introduce the methodology for service integration for modelling conceptual architecture and understand the practices on the portal composed of services of convergence of S&T. In the research lifecycle, S&T services are used to support resource activities from developing ideas to sharing to proliferating research results. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
