Ontology management in enterprises

چکیده
In today’s increasingly competitive business market, many large organisations have begun to research and develop flexible enterprises in order to be able to quickly respond to market opportunities. They are seeking ways to maximise the power of information assets stored across hundreds of their databases and application programs by bringing them into open interoperable environments. However, this effort has been seriously hindered by various kinds of heterogeneity. Each system has its own domain model for its environment and efficient task operations. However, in order for systems to communicate and co-operate effectively, a shared domain model is required. The semantics of the common, and each local, model must be captured explicitly and formally to enable meaningful information exchange.
