Using the WEB SERVICE Modeling Ontology to Enable Semantic E-Business

摘要

The integration of business appli-cations is traditionally achieved using costly customized solutions for every set of applications for every business. Indeed, it requires a business to invest in a custom hardware and software infrastructure for each new partner, not to mention the effort required on a human level to agree upon data formats and interaction protocols as well as service level agreements (SLAs). For these reasons, the degree of reusability of current integration solutions is remarkably low.
