An Ontology-based Mediation Architecture for E-commerce Applications

چکیده
As part of the MKBEEM project, we present an ontology based mediation framework for electronic commerce applications. The framework is based on a mediator/wrapper approach that supports an integrated view over multiple heterogeneous sources. The MKBEEM mediation system allows to fill the gap between customers queries (possibly expressed in a natural language) and diverse specific providers offers. In contrast with many existing mediator based systems, our approach rests on a three-layer knowledge representation architecture which includes an electronic services ontology besides the usual domain ontology and sources descriptions layers. At the reasoning level, we propose a new mechanism, namely dynamic discovery of e-services, that acts in collaboration with the Picsel mediator system to effectively achieve the MKBEEM mediation tasks.

A Natural Language Mediation System for E-Commerce applications: an ontology-based approach
This paper describes how ontologies are used to mediate between languages and to infer answers to user questions in the multilingual e-commerce mediation system mkbeem. As an example, the paper discusses how a complex user request in human language is transformed into an ontological formula and subsequently exploited to identify a service which matches best. The mkbeem-system prototype is in pr...

when ontologies are used to support corporate application domains such as electronic commerce (ecommerce) and some technical problems in deploying ontologies for real-world use. In particular, we focus on issues of ontology integration and the related problem of semantic mapping, that is, the mapping of ontologies and taxonomies to reference ontologies to preserve semantics. Along the way, we d...
متن کاملTowards efficient and scalable mediation: the AURORA approach
We develop a 2-tier, plug-and-play mediation model for accessing a large number of heterogeneous data sources. This model deenes a divide-and-conquer approach towards information integration. It is more suitable for applications such as electronic commerce than existing models. We also develop algebras that manipulate heterogeneous data, the mediation enabling algebras, that provide new techniq...
