Integrating Federated Information Sources through the use of Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontologies serve as a mean to establish a conceptually concise basis for communicating knowledge for many purposes. Within the information integration area, ontologies are useful to solve heterogeneity problems. They provide a set of knowledge terms, including the vocabulary, the semantic interconnections and some simple rules of inference and logic. In this paper we present a helpful method to integrate a new data source into a federated system taking advance of the use of ontologies.

The goal of the InfoSleuth project at MCC is to exploit and synthesize new technologies into a uni ed system that retrieves and processes information in an ever-changing network of information sources. InfoSleuth has its roots in the Carnot project at MCC, which specialized in integrating heterogeneous information bases. However, recent emerging technologies such as internetworking and the Worl...
متن کاملMapping Heterogenous Ontologies through Object Views
The traditional concept of a database view is currently under influence on new ideas, in particular the CORBA approach to distributed objects, objectoriented databases, XML and other Web technologies, semistructured data, and autonomous mobile agents. These new trends cause widening the scope of database views by novel features, which are beyond the current theoretical and conceptual paradigms ...
متن کاملOntology Merging for Federated Ontologies on the Semantic Web
One of the core challenges for the Semantic Web is the aspect of decentralization. Local structures can be modeled by ontologies. However, in order to support global communication and knowledge exchange, mechanisms have to be developed for integrating the local systems. We adopt the database approach of autonomous federated database systems and consider an architecture for federated ontologies ...

A standardized descriptive ontology supports efficient querying and manipulation of data from heterogeneous sources across boundaries of distributed infrastructures, particularly in federated environments. In this article, we present the Open-Multinet (OMN) set of ontologies, which were designed specifically for this purpose as well as to support management of life-cycles of infrastructure reso...
متن کاملOntology Based Data Integration in Federated Databases and Its’ Issues
In this paper, we discuss the use of ontologies for data integration. We consider two different settings depending on the sys tem architecture: central and peer-to-peer data integration. Within those settings, we discuss five different cases studies that illustrate the use of ontology in metadata representation, in global conceptualization, in high-level querying, in declarative mediation, and ...
