Mediating electronic product catalogs

Collaboration role in semantic integration for electronic marketplace

“…The latter introduces the mediator concept (Linche and Schmid, 1998) as an integrated catalogue to mediate the distributed catalogues through a merger called Q-Calculus (i.e., a common product description frame, which is a formal language for description and classification of objects). Modern automated mediation approach often applies technologies of multi-agent systems (e.g., Dani et al, 2007;Gates and Nissen, 2001) and ontology systems (e.g., w3.org/TR/owl-ref/) to construct an e-marketplace as a matchmaking system (e.g., Noia et al, 2003;Veit, 2004) or a brokering system (e.g., Antoniou et al, 2007;Du et al, 2004;Hämäläinen et al, 1996;Segev and Beam, 1999) between various e-business systems.…”

A utopian place of criticism? brokering access to network information

“…There are points of contact or comparison with ongoing work in other domains: other curatorial traditions (e.g. archives, museums [24]), geospatial data [25], humanities computing [26], distributed indexing of Internet resources [27], electronic product catalogues [28], and other areas.…”

Deployment of personalized e-catalogues: An agent-based framework integrated with XML metadata and user models

“…Moreover, enabling customers to search for goods information with specific attributes of a product category are not addressed. Lincke et al also propose a similar work on electronic catalogues [15]. Their work presents an architecture for mediating electronic product catalogues without further detailing the design and implementation of the system.…”
