On Accepting Heterogeneous Ontologies in Distributed Architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enforcing ontologies as conceptualisation standards in distributed architectures has some important drawbacks. It is, for instance, no solution for the legacy problem. In this article we address the possibility of accepting multiple heterogeneous ontologies in a distributed architecture. After discussing alternative ways to relate several ontologies we look into one particular (hierarchical) configuration of heterogeneous ontologies and examine how information can passed between individual systems that are linked to different ontologies.

Heterogeneous Ontology Structures for Distributed Architectures
Enforcing ontologies as conceptualisation standards in distributed architectures has some well-known drawbacks. It is, for instance, no solution for the legacy problem. In this article we describe an experiment in accepting structures of (multiple) heterogeneous ontologies for use in distributed architectures. After discussing alternative ways to relate several ontologies we look into one parti...
متن کاملSemantic Conflict Resolution in Heterogeneous Databases: Interaction Protocols for Domain Ontologies Evolution
This work deals with cooperation of heterogeneous Information Systems. The growth and variety of distributed information sources imply a need to exchange and/or to share information extracted from various and heterogeneous databases. Cooperation of heterogeneous information systems requires advanced architectures able to solve conflicts coming from data heterogeneity. The project ACSIS (Agents ...
متن کاملImproving Dependability in Service Oriented Architectures using Ontologies and Fault Injection
Large distributed systems and computer grids are increasingly being used in science and in business, with Service Oriented Architectures combined with Web services the current favoured solutions to access these distributed, heterogeneous resources. However, service-based systems have a high reliance on a middleware which is continuously evolving. This requires novel methods of testing and evalu...
متن کاملModels for semantic interoperability in service-oriented architectures
G. Vetere M. Lenzerini Although service-oriented architectures go a long way toward providing interoperability in distributed, heterogeneous environments, managing semantic differences in such environments remains a challenge. We give an overview of the issue of semantic interoperability (integration), provide a semantic characterization of services, and discuss the role of ontologies. Then we ...
متن کاملThree Semantics for the Core of the Distributed Ontology Language (Extended Abstract)
The Distributed Ontology Language DOL, currently being standardized as ISOWD 17347 within the OntoIOp (Ontology Integration and Interoperability) activity of ISO/TC 37, provides a unified framework for (1) ontologies formalized in heterogeneous logics, (2) modular ontologies, (3) links between ontologies, and (4) ontology annotation. A DOL ontology consists of modules formalized in languages su...
