Over approximately the last decade, the extraordinary and explosive growth of the Internet has dramatically altered our perception of computing. The amount of information available at the click of a mouse button is immense, and oftentimes unmanageable. There is a requirement for approaches to bring order to chaos, to organize information so that it provides value and meaning, and to answer questions...
In this paper we present a new approach for using semantic web technologies in modeling and simulation. In recent years ontologies have been used popularly in many fields to represent and structure their concepts. This work is an attempt to create a specific ontology for the process oriented discrete event simulation domain. The ontology instances represent the model instances. This instance described...
Three main approaches exist for virtual world standardization: interoperability, infrastructure, and semantic markup languages. Most standards efforts to date have concentrated on virtual worlds' graphical aspects rather than their semantic content. Here, the author uses an example audio-only virtual world to reveal the advantages of defining any virtual world in semantic terms, so it can be realized...
Automation of business transactions between trading partners is an important factor in today's global business. XML based e-Business standards are developed to provide a shared understanding on what information to share, when and how between trading partners. However these standards can only capture the syntax of the transactions and not the semantics. This paper presents an ontology for ebXML Business...
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) allows a structured way to standardize the description of Web Services, exploiting XML for the exchange of structured information. Nevertheless XML supports little interoperability between services, expected when WSDL documents have to be combined. In this context, the Semantic Web has become a promising research field. Semantic Models (e.g. RDF or OWL) allow...
Building systems in which knowledge can be shared in an ad hoc, distributed environment is one of the promises of Semantic Web. Mappings between disparate models are fundamental to any application that requires interoperability between heterogeneous data and applications. This paper intends to develop web information extraction technique using semantic technology. This system presents an approach...
e-Business standards are recognised as one of the most important drivers of Business to Business Integration. These standards seek to provide unambiguous specifications for error-free exchange of documents and information between trading partners. These standards are however, syntax based and do not guarantee semantic interoperability between partners. This paper proposes the utilisation of semantic...
Annual reports of Chinese securities companies have become the most significant and reliable source of information for domestic and foreign investors. Semantic annotation of them enhanced information retrieval and improved interoperability. In this paper we first review the major features of annual reports which are tagged PDF format, then propose a novel ontology-based NLP approach to semantic annotate...
Web mining is the use of data mining technologies to automatically interact and discover information from Web documents, which can be in structured, unstructured or semi-structured form. The Web has become a major vehicle in performing research and education related activities for researches and students. There is tremendous amount of information and knowledge existing on the Web and waiting to be...
With the development of the Internet technology and software engineering, Web services has been more and more important in many universal interoperability practice. In this blooming fielding, the Web Services description language version 2.0 (WSDL 2.0) recommendation, an XML language for describing Web services, has provided in 26 June 2007 W3C. It is more and more important to construct a correct...
Leveraging the use of semantic engineering information to improve interoperability of IT systems in sustainable manufacturing is the focus of this paper. It proposes an ontology-driven approach to formalization and representation of engineering semantics to support meaningful communication and interoperation in sustainable manufacturing and service systems. The paper argues that the development of...
The XML standard adopted for the interoperability among Web services had played prominent role in enhancing systems/application integration and also facilitates linking up clientpsilas demands through loosely couple platform. However, the use of this technology has a major disadvantage of lacking in semantic representations of the contents in the Web and makes the service discovery scheme of the UDDI...
Sensor observation service (SOS) is a Web service specification defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) group in order to standardize the way sensors and sensor data are discovered and accessed on the Web. This standard goes a long way in providing interoperability between repositories of heterogeneous sensor data and applications that use this data. Many of these...
Ontology mapping is the most effective solution to achieve interoperability among heterogeneous ontologies. There already exists many algorithms and tools for creating mapping, but less research focus on the actual usage of the created mappings for a specific task. This paper discusses the application of ontology mapping, and proposes the framework MAIT for automatic instance transformation based...
Web services are gaining momentum as key elements in cross-domain enterprises integration because more and more functions within intra- and inter-enterprises have been encapsulated as Web services. However, these services are typically provided and invoked by different service providers in different enterprises distributed in multi-domains, so it is inevitable to face the problem of semantic inconsistency...
Process models to support user objectives are used across several domains, such as eLearning or Business Process Management. Usually, specific metadata schemas, such as the XML bindings of the Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) or IMS Learning Design (IMS LD), are used to enable interoperability. Since Web services which are used throughout a process at runtime, are allocated statically within...
Managing multiple ontologies is now a core question in most of the applications that require semantic interoperability. The semantic Web is surely the most significant application of this report: the current challenge is not to design, develop and deploy domain ontologies but to define semantic correspondences among multiple ontologies covering overlapping domains. In this paper, we introduce a new...
Current fashion systems to interconnect large software architectures are moving toward SOA based solutions. This new paradigm for designing system can be improved, in our opinion, by using semantics. Semantics can a play a main role in boosting interoperability thanks to current technologies to express knowledge and to describe semantic Web services (SWS). This paper tackles the provision of a Software...
Web services are important for creating distributed applications on the Web. In fact, they're a key enabler for service-oriented architectures that focus on service reuse and interoperability. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has recently finished work on two important standards for describing Web services the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 2.0 and Semantic Annotations for WSDL and XML...
With the advent of XML, great challenges arise from the demand for efficiently retrieving information from remote XML sources across the Internet. Recently, the advance of extensible Markup Language (XML) as the lingua franca of the Web meets the needs for an interoperable data exchange format on the Web. The semantic caching technology can help to improve the efficiency of XML query processing in...
