ISIS: A Semantic Mediation Model and an Agent Based Architecture for GIS Interoperability
نویسندگان
چکیده
The diversity of spatial information systems promotes the need to integrate heterogeneous spatial or geographic information systems (GIS) in a cooperative environment. This paper describes the research project ISIS (Interoperable Spatial Information System) which is a semantic mediation approach to support GIS interoperability. Its key characteristic is a dynamic resolution of semantic conflicts which is adequate for achieving autonomy, flexibility and extensibility. We propose a spatial OO data model and a mediation architecture based on multi-agent paradigm tu support GIS interoperability.

Semantic Mediation for Cooperative Spatial Information Systems: The AMUN Data Model
We present the on-going research project ISIS (Interoperable Spatial Information Systems) which is a semantic mediation approach to support geographical spatial information systems interoperability. The diversity of spatial information systems (GIS) and data models has created a need for tools and methodologies to allow cooperation or interoperation among GIS. In particular, mediation based app...
متن کاملA Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
متن کاملA Scalable and Efficient Query Answering for a Context and Schema Mediation
This paper presents a generic, scalable and efficient query answering for semantic interoperable information systems. We propose a generic multi agent architecture that supports our approach. Moreover, we define a semantic proximity allowing to separate the semantic interoperable information systems in segments allowing encircled efforts of query answering. Another advantage of our approach con...
متن کاملIntelligent Query Processing for Semantic Interoperable Information Systems
We propose a efficient query processing approach for semantic interoperable information systems. We propose also a generic multi agent architecture that supports our approach. Our approach consists in the exploitation of intelligent agents for query reformulation and the use of a new technology for the semantic representation. The algorithm is self-adapted to the changes of the environment, off...
متن کاملAn Industrial Validation of a Semantic-Mediation Architecture
This paper presents an industrial validation of a semantic-mediation architecture that enables business-to-business (B2B), standards-based interoperability between heterogeneous legacy applications. The architecture was implemented using a state-of-the-art semantic-mediation toolset for design-time and run-time integration tasks. The design-time tools supported a domain ontology definition, mes...
