Title: Semantic Data Integration: Overall
Architecture
Abstract: The
information
has always been a valuable patrimony for the information systems that
every
company tries to capitalize as much as possible. With the web, the
amount
of information is increased and several problems arise for instance for
the
safety of the exchanged data but also to the semantic heterogeneity:
the
same information is very often represented in different ways in
different
information systems. In this paper we present an architecture of
interchange
of data both within the same information system and among different
information
systems founded on the ontologies in order to overcome the problem list
of
the heterogeneity. Ontologies, today, they seem to be the best tool
useful
to resolve the problem of heterogeneity, but that has not now been
exploited
fully.
