Semantic Web-Enabled Protocol Mediation for the Logistics Domain
Óscar Corcho, Silvestre Losada, Richard Benjamins · Advances in e-business research series · 2009
Among the problems that arise when trying to make different applications interoperate with each other, protocol mediation is one of the most difficult ones and for which less relevant literature can be found. Protocol mediation is concerned with non-matching message interaction patterns in application interaction. In this chapter we describe the design and implementation of a protocol mediation component that has been applied in the interoperation between two heterogeneous logistic provider systems (using two different standards: RosettaNet and EDIFACT), for a specific freight forwarding task.
