Abstract
This paper systematically provides an enterprise application integration (EAI) approach for the complex product design industry in which the application integration has long been difficult. In addition, the complex product’s data sources are distributed in different enterprise application systems which resulted in the design ontology’s heterogeneousness. Similarly, the differences in enterprise application systems bring about the heterogeneousness of the application ontology. Based on an actual project, this paper studies the nonobjective characteristic of the heterogeneous design ontology and heterogeneous application ontology in the complex product design industry, and establishes the common semantic description models for the two types of ontology respectively. In the actual project, an information system is developed and has been successfully applied to an enterprise.
