Abstract

Traditional database- or XML-mediated business integration approaches use inexpressive mediating models of database schemas or XML trees, and a number of validation tasks need to be solved with ad-hoc programming techniques. We propose an architecture for an ontology-based business integration service relying on a composite mediating ontology constructed from several business, a temporal, and a mapping ontologies. The architecture allows using inference over these ontologies to perform various validations tasks.
