For the intelligent business process management, ebXML registry needs to efficiently store and process semantic information. Even though ebXML registry provides two basic information models to define and associate semantics between registry objects; e.g., classification information model and association information model, they cannot express all semantics of the standard web ontology language (OWL) due to their generic differences in design goals and usage patterns. To support OWL semantics in ebXML registries is to provide a foundation for intelligent information processing in ebXML registries.In this paper, we address how to embed OWL semantics in the ebXML registry. To express OWL constructs in ebXML registries, we propose a new ebXML registry information model, i.e., a semantic information model (SIM).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
