Formal Semantic Annotations for Models Interoperability in a PLM environment

Formal Semantic Annotations for Models Interoperability in a PLM environment

Nowadays, the need for system interoperability in or across enterprises has become more and more ubiquitous. Lots of research works have been carried out in the information exchange, transformation, discovery and reuse. One of the main challenges in these researches is to overcome the semantic heterogeneity between enterprise applications along the lifecycle of a product. As a possible solution...

Semantic Annotations for Workflow Interoperability

To support the interoperability or the cooperation between different partners, various approaches and technological solutions were proposed, which converge directly to the adoption of standards. Consequently, the semantic aspect is not correctly addressed by today's interoperability solutions that focus mainly on the syntactical and technical level. Indeed, addressing the semantic aspect at con...

Formalization of Semantic Annotation for Systems Interoperability in a PLM Environment

Nowadays, the need for systems collaboration across enterprises and through different domains has become more and more ubiquitous. Due to the lack of standardized models or architecture, as well as semantic mismatching and inconsistencies, research works on information and model exchange, transformation, discovery and reuse are carried out in recent years. One of the main challenges in these re...

Towards a Formal Framework for Semantic Interoperability in Supply Networks

In this position paper, we summarize our achievements in the research and development of formal framework for semantic interoperability in supply networks. First, we identify common problems of traditional supply chains and argue that interoperability of enterprise information systems is crucial for their resolution. Second, we discuss on the foundational aspects of semantic interoperability an...
