Cooperation between and collaboration with partner organisations is a business requirement, which needs for its fulfillment a fast and easy exchange of information between the partners. Therefore interoperation between heterogeneous ICT systems is becoming a high priority requirement in such a global business enterprise environment. Numerous standards to support this interoperation have been or...

Models developed using different modeling languages but the same data provide different insights of the human terrain. Interoperation of such models, i.e., multi-modeling, can produce a more robust modeling and simulation capability to support operational commanders or intelligence analysts. The C2 Wind Tunnel is a platform that enables multi-modeling and the conduct of simulations and computat...

Sociolinguists want to be able to share and compare datasets, and they want to do so now and far into the future. Achieving this dream will require that sociolinguistic corpora are archived in a sustainable way and that those corpora are encoded in such a way that interoperation among them is possible. This paper first sets the stage by describing broadly the requirements for sustainable archiv...

in the same representation, and hence their results can be readily merged. To compile the result of query (5) into a set of cargo entities in the ight database, we need a rule: mapping the rst attribute domain to the other attribute domains. These functions are interpretations of the fact that attribute a 1 is the key of entity O. Applying this rule, every pair in the result of query (5) is bou...

The RuleML knowledge-interoperation hub provides for syntactic/semantic representation and internal/external transformation of formal knowledge. The representation system permits the configuration of textbook and enriched Relax NG syntax as well as the association of syntax with semantics. The transformation tool suite includes serialized formatters (normalizers and compactifiers), polarized pa...

ion of Representation for Interoperation David A. Maluf and Gio Wiederhold Department of Computer Science Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 Abstract. When combining data from distinct sources, there is a need to share meta-data and other knowledge about various source domains. Due to semantic inconsistencies, problems arise when combining knowledge across domains and the knowledge is simpl...
