Integrating fixed and mobile roadway data 2 ABSTRACT Fixed-site and mobile data sources have distinct strengths for representing roadway conditions, and unique insights can be generated by combining the two. Ongoing research on an urban arterial roadway corridor combines distinct data sources for multi-criteria transportation facility performance assessment. The roadway is instrumented with an ...

For some decision processes a significant added value is achieved when enterprises’ internal Data Warehouse (DW) can be integrated and combined with external data gained from web sites of competitors and other relevant Web sources. In this paper we discuss the agent-based integration approach using ontologies (DSS-MAS). In this approach data from internal DW and external sources are scanned by ...

The global trade item number (GTIN) is traditionally used to identify trade items and look up corresponding information within industrial supply chains.
