A classification of schema-based matching approaches

by Pavel Shvaiko - JOURNAL ON DATA SEMANTICS , 2005
"... Schema/ontology matching is a critical problem in many application domains, such as, semantic web, schema/ontology integration, data warehouses, e-commerce, catalog matching, etc. Many diverse solutions to the matching problem have been proposed so far. In this paper we present a taxonomy of schema- ..."

Ontological Semantics

by Sergei Nirenburg, Victor Raskin , 2004
"... This book introduces ontological semantics, a comprehensive approach to the treatment of text meaning by computer. Ontological semantics is an integrated complex of theories, methodologies, descriptions and implementations. In ontological semantics, a theory is viewed as a set of statements determin ..."

Ontology-Based Approach for Application Integration

by Saïd Izza, Lucien Vincent, Patrick Burlat - Doctoral Symposium, Pre-proceedings of the, First International Conference on Interoperability of Enterprise Software and Applications : INTEROP-ESA’2005,Geneva, Switzerland, February 23 - 25 , 2005
"... Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is still facing the crucial semantic integration problem. This latter is not correctly addressed by today's EAI solutions that focus mainly on the technical and syntactical integration. Addressing the semantic integration level will promote EAI by provid ..."

by providing it more consistency and robustness. Some efforts are suggested to solve the se-mantic integration problem, but they are still not mature. This paper deals with semantic problem in EAI and will present an ontology-based approach in order to overcome some issues of the integration problem.

Contextual Semantic Integration for Ontologies

by Brendan Tierney, Mike Jackson
"... Abstract. Information integration in organisations has been hindered by differences in the software applications used and by the structure and semantic differences of the different data sources (de Bruijn, 2003). This is a common problem in the area of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) where ..."

differences and do not address the semantic differences between the data sources (de Bruijn, 2003). For ontology semantic integration the underlying meaning of each element is needed. An approach based on introducing the contextualisation of the terms used in an ontology is proposed. This approach is called

Ontologies and semantics for seamless connectivity

by Michael Uschold, Michael Gruninger - SIGMOD Record , 2004
"... The goal of having networks of seamlessly connected people, software agents and IT systems remains elusive. Early integration efforts focused on connectivity at the physical and syntactic layers. Great strides were made; there are many commercial tools available, for example to assist with enterpris ..."

with enterprise application integration. It is now recognized that physical and syntactic connectivity is not adequate. A variety of research systems have been developed addressing some of the semantic issues. In this paper, we argue that ontologies in particular and semantics-based technologies in general

1 Ontology-based Patterns for the Integration of Business Processes and Enterprise Application Architectures

by Veronica Gacitua-decar, Claus Pahl
"... Abstract: Increasingly, enterprises are using service-oriented architecture (SOA) as an approach to enterprise application integration (EAI). SOA has the potential to bridge the gap between business and technology and to improve the reuse of existing applications and the interoperability with new on ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
repository of semantically enriched, experience-based solutions. Business patterns identify the interaction and structure between users, business processes, and data. Specific integration and composition patterns at a more technical level address enterprise application integration and capture reliable

Semantic Integration of Tourism Enterprises: an Ontological Approach

by Anna Formica, Michele Missikoff
"... In the rapidly evolving world of the New Economy, there is an explosion of opportunities. New players are appearing on the scene and new forms of cooperation are continuously experimented. In this frame, one of the major problems is represented by the difficulty of establishing a partnership among d ..."

different players (who may not know each other before), making them sharing a common understanding of a given application domain in a short time. The construction of a common Ontology is a promising solution to this problem. In this paper, we present the motivations and the main lines of Sym

An architecture for semantic enterprise application integration standards. Paper presented at

by Nenad Anicic, Nenad Ivezic, Albert Jones - the 1st International Conference on the Interoperability of Enterprise Software and Applications (I-ESA’05
"... Abstract. Large, industry-wide interoperability projects use syntax-based standards approaches to accomplish interoperable data exchange among enterprise applications. We are investigating Semantic Web to advance these approaches. In this paper, we describe an architecture for Semantic Enterprise Ap ..."
Abstract - Cited by 18 (3 self) - Add to MetaCart
Application Integration Standards as a basis for experimental assessment of the Semantic Web technologies to enhance these standards approaches. The architecture relies on automated translation of the XML Schema-based representation of business document content models into an OWL-based ontology. Based

Semantic Similarity in Biomedical Ontologies.

by Catia Pesquita , Daniel Faria , André O Falcã , Phillip Lord , Francisco M Couto - PLOS Computational Biology", , 2009
"... Abstract: In recent years, ontologies have become a mainstream topic in biomedical research. When biological entities are described using a common schema, such as an ontology, they can be compared by means of their annotations. This type of comparison is called semantic similarity, since it assesse ..."
Abstract - Cited by 60 (2 self) - Add to MetaCart
it assesses the degree of relatedness between two entities by the similarity in meaning of their annotations. The application of semantic similarity to biomedical ontologies is recent; nevertheless, several studies have been published in the last few years describing and evaluating diverse approaches
