abstract |
A fundamental characteristic of Web APIs is the fact that, de facto, providers hardly
follow any standard practices while implementing, publishing, and documenting their
APIs. As a consequence, the discovery and use of these services by third parties is
significantly hampered. In order to achieve further automation while exploiting Web
APIs we present an approach for automatically extracting relevant technical information
from the Web pages documenting them. In particular we have devised two algorithms
that automatically extract technical details such as operation names, operation descriptions
or URI templates from the documentation of Web APIs adopting either RPC or RESTful
interfaces. The algorithms devised, which exploit advanced DOM processing as well
as state of the art Information Extraction and Natural Language Processing techniques,
have been evaluated against a detailed dataset exhibiting a high precision and recall–around
90% for both REST and RPC APIs outperforming state of the art information extraction
algorithms. |
