A Reference Architecture for Semantic Knowledge Coordination
Silvana Castano, Alfio Ferrara, Stefano Montanelli · 2009
In this paper, we present iCoord, a reference architecture for knowledge coordination in open, multi-knowledge information systems. iCoord is a peer-oriented architecture where each node represents a single agent (e.g., an enterprise, a peer) which performs knowledge design as a consequence of or in order to collaborate/interoperate with other external partners for knowledge sharing. A key aspect of iCoord is the capability to support knowledge design not only with the traditional “from scratch” approach, but also by enforcing (re)use through alignment and/or assimilation of externally harvested knowledge chunks. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
