Ontology-Driven Information Integration
نویسندگان
چکیده
The integration of information of different kinds, such as spatial and alphanumeric, at different levels of detail is a challenge. While a solution is not reached, it is widely recognized that the need to integrate information is so pressing that it does not matter if detail is lost, as long as integration is achieved. This paper shows the potential for extraction of different levels of information, within the framework of ontology-driven geographic information systems.

Ontology-Driven Information Systems: Challenges and Requirements
The increased use of ontologies in several application fields makes it possible to observe requirements for their smooth integration within Information Systems. In this paper we analyse these requirements and propose the usage of additional semantic knowledge in the ontology to reconcile them. We think that these properties are essential to enhance the performance of ontology-driven Information...

متن کاملMethods for Ontology-Driven Integration
This paper describes the motivations, approach, and architecture for using ontologies in knowledge extraction and in applications that assist situated agents in complex information integration tasks. Our approach applies ontologies along with semantic analysis methods to extract task relevant knowledge from distributed, unstructured text sources. This knowledge is then applied to assist in info...
