Formal Support for Representing and Automating Semantic Interoperability
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss approaches to semantic heterogeneity and propose a formalisation of semantic interoperability based on the BarwiseSeligman theory of information flow. We argue for a theoretical framework that favours the analysis and implementation of semantic interoperability scenarios relative to particular understandings of semantics. We present an example case of such a scenario where our framework has been applied as well as variations of it in the domain of ontology mapping.

Hospital information systems interoperability in Iran
Introduction: Interoperability is needed when the Hospital Information System (HIS) data should be combined and shared with different systems. This study was aimed to determine the semantic and technical interoperability of hospital information systems of Iran’s health care centers and propose guidelines to create and develop interoperability of these centers. Methods: This descriptive st...
متن کاملA Cognitive Support Framework for Ontology Mapping
Ontology mapping is the key to data interoperability in the semantic web. This problem has received a lot of research attention, however, the research emphasis has been mostly devoted to automating the mapping process, even though the creation of mappings often involve the user. As industry interest in semantic web technologies grows and the number of widely adopted semantic web applications in...
متن کاملA Conflict Resolution Environment for Autonomous Mediation Among Heterogeneous Databases
Our objective in this research is to develop a formal framework and methodology to facilitate semantic interoperability among distributed and heterogeneous information systems. The primary research question is, “how do we identify and resolve various dataand schematic-level conflicts among such disparate information sources?” A comprehensive formal framework for managing various semantic confli...
متن کاملThe Role of Spatial Relations in Automating the Semantic Annotation of Geodata
How can the usability of distributed and heterogeneous geographic data sets be enhanced? Semantic interoperability is a prerequisite for effectively finding and accessing relevant data in different application contexts. By using geospatial domain ontologies and semantic annotations of geodata based on these ontologies semantic interoperability can be achieved. However, since no automated method...
متن کاملA Formal Ontological Framework for Semantic Interoperability in the Fishery Domain
This paper outlines a project (involving FAO, SIFAR, and CNR) aimed at building an ontology in the fishery domain. The ontology will support semantic interoperability among existing fishery information systems and will enhance information extraction and text marking, envisaging a fishery semantic web. The ontology is being built through the conceptual integration and merging of existing fishery...
