There are different alignment tools to align the Ontology to make it an effective way of developing semantic web. This helps in creating a context based searches which will enable for the common public to do effective searching. The idea of this paper is to implement the proposed solution in a utility (e.g. Protégé) to publically make the tool available for ontology alignment.
Many challenges are to be addressed when it comes to integrating ontologies. The common challenges are ontology mismatches. It is important for the integrated ontology to model the intended meaning and resolve all the conflicts so that it will not form a false commitment to the system. Much work has paid attention to finding similarities between ontologies. Little work has considered overcoming coverage...
Resources should be virtualized before they are deployed to cloud manufacturing systems. In this paper, a method is proposed for resource virtualization by transforming manufacturing resources into cloud services through two phases. Manufacturing resource features are comprehensively analyzed. A virtual specification is established for describing heterogeneous manufacturing resources in an isomorphic...
Problems occur in the models integration and particularly, in the comparison phase of the integration. Previous approaches have not correctly handled the semantic integration. We propose a complete approach for integrating of UML models. First, we provide a comparison approach incorporating syntactic, structural and semantic aspects in order to detect any correspondence between the models to compare,...
Component-based development of embedded systems has been suggested as a means to increase development efficiency by, for example, facilitating reuse. However, the specifics of the embedded systems domain also raise some particular difficulties when applying this approach. For example, when glue code is automatically produced from an architectural specification, a systematic approach where fully reusable...
Electronic medical record systems (EMRs) can be made more attractive to the clinicians if Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are integrated with them. However, CDSS have to be developed with integration in mind, such that they may be integrated not just with the local EMR but EMRs developed by others as well. Web Services Technology ameliorates the challenge of integration if the CDSS is well-designed...
The workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their ideas related to the usage of semantic technologies for information-integrated collaboration. We address a wide array of questions concerning two fundamental design problems arising when realizing integrated collaboration solutions, namely semantic inaccessibility and logical disconnectedness...
The financial services industry presents some unique challenges in data integration, both within firms and across the securities trading process. This paper describes how the industry came to an awareness of the need to define semantics as an industry wide standard, and the methods and processes used to realize that requirement in the form of an industry Semantics Repository. The repository is described...
This paper describes the architecture and requirements of an integrated system that is needed to support command and control for the interoperability-capability focus area. The architecture is designed to enhance situational awareness during emergencies such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wild fires, floods, tsunamis, mud slides, storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, extreme heat, extreme cold, massive...
In W3C's Rule Interchange Format (RIF), F-Logic rules have received considerable attention as a major logical rule formalism, while combinations of rules with Description Logic (DL) ontologies in RIF, let alone with F-Logic rules, are far less developed. To mend this, we first present F-Logic# knowledge bases, a framework based on the semantics of the well-investigated dl-programs, that provides a...
In this paper, we aim to overcome barriers to realizing practical lifelog systems, and we propose a lifelog system named ‘LifeLogOn’ (Lifelog Ontology; ‘Log on to your lifelogs’). The system allows users to easily build and exploit lifelog ontology by importing various available data sources. In addition, we present some use case scenarios to show how our system and the lifelog ontology built by our...
The objective of knowledge integration is to promote knowledge collection, sharing and retrieval in distributed and heterogeneous environment. Our workgroup develops a domain-oriented model for knowledge integration in distributed heterogeneous environment such as semantic grid, which promises better access to relevant knowledge by producing a global domain ontology that is used for establishing semantic...
The demand for quickly delivering robust enterprise applications has increasingly become a business imperative today. Semantic web technologies have received much interest due to their prospect in facilitating seamless legacy system integration in support of new functionality development. In this article, we present a team collaboration oriented development framework (SSC-I) for designing and developing...
The characteristics of publish/subscribe technology are of asynchronism and loosely coupled. This phenomenon makes producers and consumers are de-communicated in temporal and spatial domains during processing. It requires develop a dynamic integration in today's large-scale, distributed information system. This paper introduces a Semantic Integration Data Model (SIDM) for publish/subscribe systems,...
Semantics has recently become a promising candidate panacea to computing scalability problems. However, this rather ambiguous candidacy title does not specify how this solution should be fulfilled, i.e. what steps must still be taken and which objectives must be implemented to provide truly scalable semantic computing platforms. The purpose of this conceptual roadmap is to address the scalability...
