Implementation of enterprises’ interoperation based on ontology

Abstract

The interoperation among enterprises in e-business could block the ambient semantic collaboration and cause a big problem since varying information descriptions and different data models may be used in different enterprises information systems. Ontology is an important tool to overcome the above mentioned syntax and semantic misunderstanding problem. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly environment supporting syntax and neutral format data model for business information. In this paper, two scenarios are discussed and a unified description of data model is developed to solve the gap in interoperation through mapping from logical data of enterprise s information system. It provides the methods to realize the mapping among different types of data or information. First, database and other types of information are transformed into neutral format that are described by web ontology language (OWL). Second, 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 then described in a standard format that makes the collaboration be understood easily.

Trustworthy assurance of service interoperation in cloud environment

“…Lv et al [21] proposed a heterogeneous system interoperation framework based on multilayer ontology to solve the problems of integrating heterogeneous systems during the business collaboration. Di and Fan [22] proposed a unified description of data model based on ontology to solve the gap in interoperation through mapping from logical data of enterprise s information system. From these interoperability researches, it can be known that the businesses and organizations of various domains, all attempt to solve the integration and collaboration by making use of interoperability to satisfy their requirements.…”
