XML-IS: ONTOLOGY-BASED INTEGRATION ARCHITECTURE
Christophe Cruz, Christophe Nicolle · 2008
This paper presents an architecture that aims at integrating XML documents. Today, information exchanges in business processes widely use XML to format data. But this is done without a common process management. For some applications it is necessary to archive data for future processes (error detections, logs, and knowledge enquiry data mining). For this reason our architecture allows users to retrieve information from automatically integrated XML. This is not possible without the help of a semantic level definition which is build upon XML schemas. To reach this goal we use the knowledge defined in XML schemas to share a global ontology of domain. At a final step this ontology is used in the retrieval process by end-users to search and retrieve information.
