Ontology-based Interoperability Services for Semantic Collaboration in Open Networked Systems

  • Conference paper
Interoperability of Enterprise Software and Applications

Summary

In this paper, we describe an ontology-based collaboration model for supporting semantic interoperability in open networked systems. We characterize discovery and matchmaking semantic interoperability services for retrieving information resources semantically related to a target request, to enable a coordinated and virtualized access to distributed heterogeneous information resources.
