Download or read book Semantic Web and Model Driven Engineering written by Fernando S. Parreiras and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-05-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next enterprise computing era will rely on the synergy between both technologies: semantic web and model-driven software development (MDSD). The semantic web organizes system knowledge in conceptual domains according to its meaning. It addresses various enterprise computing needs by identifying, abstracting and rationalizing commonalities, and checking for inconsistencies across system specifications. On the other side, model-driven software development is closing the gap among business requirements, designs and executables by using domain-specific languages with custom-built syntax and semantics. It focuses on using modeling languages as programming languages. Among many areas of application, we highlight the area of configuration management. Consider the example of a telecommunication company, where managing the multiple configurations of network devices (routers, hubs, modems, etc.) is crucial. Enterprise systems identify and document the functional and physical characteristics of network devices, and control changes to those characteristics. Applying the integration of semantic web and model-driven software development allows for (1) explicitly specifying configurations of network devices with tailor-made languages, (2) for checking the consistency of these specifications (3) for defining a vocabulary to share device specifications across enterprise systems. By managing configurations with consistent and explicit concepts, we reduce cost and risk, and enhance agility in response to new requirements in the telecommunication area. This book examines the synergy between semantic web and model-driven software development. It brings together advances from disciplines like ontologies, description logics, domain-specific modeling, model transformation and ontology engineering to take enterprise computing to the next level.

Download or read book Semantic Integration of Applications written by Parames Ghosh and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Application integration, addressed in this thesis, is no longer an organisational issue, but a global problem. Organisational boundaries are often redefined with mergers/acquisitions. Customers require services that cannot be provided by a single organisation. Applications from one organisation often need to interact with applications of other organisations; they need to package services that are supplied by other organisations. Organisations can no longer work in isolation. Increase in the need for interoperability of applications has been matched by the increase in the speed and quality of communication. Organisations are now highly interconnected and have access to many information sources, but they still have problems in identifying what data from other organisations are relevant or meaningful to them. In this thesis, we have shown how to link relevant data across applications and model their relationships in the integrating application. A computer application represents real world objects that are relevant to it; again from these objects it selects only the relevant attributes. The same real world object may be modelled in many applications, but different sets of attributes are represented in those applications, because data models support different constructs, designers have different perceptions, or the contexts of the application explain unspecified details. When the real world object represented by one application object is same as the real world object represented by another application object, these application objects are semantically equivalent. When the real world counterparts are related, the application objects are semantically related. We have proposed to link semantically related objects of two or more applications in spite of their schematic differences, and model these objects for an integrating application in terms of the semantic relationships of their real world counterparts. We have further simplified this approach to integrate decentralised application systems by identifying a subset of data items of each involved application. These subsets represent the shared information across the applications. Thus, the integration can be achieved by integrating only the selected subsets of the applications. The traditional approaches are to integrate applications by considering all data items of involved applications; these approaches attempt to understand the semantics of all objects in the distributed complex and hence cannot be easily implemented. In this proposed approach, the subsets of the involved applications are expressed as export objects, which contain the shared information of each involved application for the integrated application. After semantic relationships of the export objects across applications are established, an object-oriented application can integrate the semantically related objects across applications and help the applications inter-operate with one another. Identification of semantic links between the involved export objects facilitates setting up their relationships in the data/object models. The proposed architecture will help us get the best of both worlds - continue using existing applications, at the same time add new technologies for the competitive edge.

Download or read book Ontology based Application Integration written by Heiko Paulheim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ontology-based Application Integration introduces UI-level (User Interface Level) application integration and discusses current problems which can be remedied by using ontologies. It shows a novel approach for applying ontologies in system integration. While ontologies have been used for integration of IT systems on the database and on the business logic layer, integration on the user interface layer is a novel field of research. This book also discusses how end users, not only developers, can benefit from semantic technologies. Ontology-based Application Integration presents the development of a software framework including a detailed ontology about user interfaces and interactions. This includes a running case study of a real world integrated emergency management system. The last section of this book discusses useful features that can be built on top of the framework for improving the user experience with future integrated information systems. Ontology-based Application Integration is designed as a reference book for practitioners and researchers who understand and work with the principles of applying semantic web technologies to a software engineering problem. This book will also make an excellent reference or secondary text book for advanced-level students concentrating on computer science.
