A conceptual framework for developing a deep web service

Abstract

Today, many agricultural organizations have developed Web databases or deep Web’ to publish their observation data. However, the availability of deep Web alone limits any agricultural applications to automatically perform. There is thus a need for a deep Web Service or simply dWS that facilitates any client applications to automatically access the data available on a specified deep Web. It is likely that several dWS’ must be developed. In this paper, we thus propose a conceptual framework that facilitates the development of a dWS as per a given deep Web. Specifically, it provides an essential mechanism that enables dWS developers to simply generate all necessary configurations, and then build the corresponding dWS.
