Modeling Big data‐based systems through ontological trading

Abstract

SUMMARYOne of the great challenges the information society faces is dealing with the huge amount of information generated and handled daily on the Internet. Today, progress in Big Data proposals attempt to solve this problem, but there are certain limitations to information search and retrieval due basically to the large volumes handled, the heterogeneity of the information and its dispersion among a multitude of sources. In this article, a formal framework is defined to facilitate the design and development of an Environmental Management Information System which works with an heterogeneous and large amount of data. Nevertheless, this framework can be applied to other information systems that work with Big Data, since it does not depend on the type of data and can be utilized in other domains. The framework is based on an Ontological Web-Trading Model (OntoTrader) which follows Model-Driven Engineering and OntologyDriven Engineering guidelines to separate the system architecture from its implementation. The proposal is accompanied by a case study, SOLERES-KRS, an Environmental Knowledge Representation System designed and developed using Software Agents and Multi-Agent Systems.

“…Lastly, a research project defined a formal framework for the design and development of an environmental management information system that operates with heterogeneous and large database. The framework is based on the ontological model of e-commerce (OntoTrader), that follows engineering guidelines driven by models and ontologies to separate the architecture from the implementation system [22].…”
