XTE J1908+094 is an X-ray transient that went into outburst in February 2002. After two months it reached a 2-250 keV peak flux of 1 to 2 × 10 erg cms. Circumstantial evidence points to an accreting galactic black hole as the origin of the the X-radiation: pulsations nor thermonuclear flashes were detected that would identify a neutron star and the spectrum was unusually hard for a neutron star...

It is common for information exchange between heterogeneous systems to be syntactically correct but fail to achieve its intended purpose due to semantic mismatches. NATO research group IST-094 is developing a framework to facilitate semantic interoperability. We will show a live demonstration of one possible approach to implementing a message translation broker, following the Semantic Interoper...
