A New Implementation for Ontology Mapping Based Enterprise Semantic Interoperation

Abstract:

In the interoperation among enterprises in Business, there is a big problem that different data models and information description are used in different enterprises’ systems which blocking the ambient Semantic collaboration. Ontology is an important tool to overcome syntax and semantic misunderstanding. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly environment supporting syntax and neutral format data model for business information. In this paper, a unified description of data model which mapping from logical data of enterprise’s information system is developed to solve the gap in interoperation. It provides the methods to realize the mapping among serious types of data or information. Firstly, database and other types of information are transformed into neutral format which described by OWL. Secondly, the neutral format can be mapped into the semantic entities and semantic linking through the process of extraction and annotation and added into ontology and been described in a standard method which makes the collaboration could be understood. Lastly, a prototype is described and realized as an integration platform.
