Abstract: In this paper we describe a prototype implementation of the Context Interchange Network (CIN). The CIN is designed to provide for the- intelligent integration of contextually (i.e., semantically) heterogeneous data. The- system uses explicit context knowledge and a context mediator to automatically detect conflicts and resolve them through context conversion. The network also allows for context explication; making it possible for a receiver of data to understand the meaning of the information represented by the source data. A financial application is used to illustrate the functionality of the prototype. 1.
