Abstract The purpose of Linked Data and ontologies is to achieve semantic interoperability across different systems agents. As a concrete implementation, Digital Construction Ontologies (DiCon) are meant provide efficient information sharing utilization between the tools in BIM4EEB toolkit. This section explains motivations, design principles, organization DiCon ontologies.

Dependencies This deliverable studies and analyzes the semantic interoperability problems that are raised in the Cloud. Then, the semantic interoperability issues/concerns are categorized in different levels defining the Cloud4SOA Cloud Semantic Interoperability Framework. Additionally, the Cloud4SOA Cloud Semantic Interoperability Framework includes a roadmap comprising of a set of guidelines ...

Semantic interoperability is needed to support meaningful data exchanges in distributed environments such as ad hoc networks of geospatial databases and geospatial web services. Even with the recent increasing popularity of ontologies to capture semantics of geospatial resources, semantics of geospatial data are often implicit or too weak to support meaningful exchanges. In this paper, we argue...

Interoperability, i.e. "the ability of diverse systems and services to work together", is often described from a syntactic viewpoint, focusing on data exchange formats. While syntactic interoperability is required, the pre-requisite for any data exchange is to ensure that all actors involved share a common understanding of the information that will be exchanged. This aspect of interoperability ...

The paradigm of Interoperability Service Utility (ISU) is considered as one of the grand challenges in research of Enterprise Interoperability. In this paper, we discuss on the relevance and impact of the current ISU research to the semantic interoperability in general and propose an original architecture for implementation of the Semantic Interoperability Service Utilities (S-ISU). The propose...
