Semantic integration is crucial for successful collaboration between heterogeneous information systems in an open environment. Traditional ontology-driven approaches rely on the availability of explicit ontologies. However, in many domains, this prerequisite cannot be met. In order to address this issue, this paper investigates the theoretical foundation of ontologies and extends the traditional ontology...
Online customs declaration is becoming popular for international logistics through airports and seaports. This paper proposes a dedicated data interchange protocol and presents the supporting systems being developed for express post. Compared with the traditional Electronic Data Interchange, the proposed protocol and systems is based on XML, and supports RFID, Harmonized System codes, and image processing...
This paper presents a novel ontological view-based semantic transformation method to address the semantic heterogeneity design issue of open distributed information systems. After carefully reviewing the traditional ontology definitions, this work extends the ontological view concept to represent the partial knowledge about the same business domain in an open environment where common ontology does...
Today in many domains there are very limited explicit ontologies established for building information systems. The information systems have only schemas for their information repositories which to some extent imply the semantics of the information. Traditional ontology-driven semantic integration approaches cannot be directly applied in integrating these information systems. In our work we use the...
