“…Without addressing the root of the problem, and therefore modelling the different assumptions of the systems it is difficult to imagine how to tackle the problem. An initial semantic model of the middleware is provided in [11] and independently an initial approach to this problem is provided in [10].…”

Data interoperability is one of the main problems of system interoperability. Indeed, it is estimated that the cost of data interoperability ranges in the billions of dollars every year. The traditional approach to data interoperability is to define mappings between different data structures and different data formats. Whereas this is surely a very important part of the problem, it is not its only aspect. Often systems need to aggregate data coming from different systems, and to reason and derive conclusions from these data. In this paper, we will review the efforts performed in the semantic web to unlock this problem and highlight trends and pitfalls.

“…This is in itself a step forward towards interoperability between different network packets; however, further research is required into how ontologies can be used to generally identify mapping solutions that resolve the differences between packets. Further details about the use of ontologies within the domain of message-level heterogeneity are presented in [7].…”

“…The development, from the supporting theory to concrete prototype implementation, of such enablers is currently ongoing as part of the CONNECT EU project 7 . Despite the tremendous challenges that are raised in unifying and combining the principles of semantic technologies and interoperability middleware to enable emergent middleware, we have been developing experimental enablers to validate this vision.…”

Abstract. Online shopping has reached an unforeseen success during the last decade thanks to the explosion of the Internet and the development of dedicated websites. Nonetheless, the wide diversity of e-commerce websites does not really foster the sales, but rather leaves the customer in the middle of dense jungle. In particular, finding the best offer for a specific product might require to spend hours browsing the Internet without being sure of finding the best deal in the end. While some websites are providing comparators to help the customer in finding the best offer meeting her/his requirements, the objectivity of these websites remains questionable, the comparison criteria are statically defined, while the nature of products they support is restricted to specific categories (e.g., electronic devices). In this paper, we introduce MACCHIATO as a user-centered platform leveraging online shopping. MACCHIATO implements the principles of the Internet-of-Things by adopting the REST architectural style and semantic web standards to navigate product databases exposed on the Internet. By doing so, customers keep the control of their shopping process by selecting the stores and comparing the offers according to their own preferences.
