DIA: Data Integration Using Agents.
Philip S. Medcraft, Ulrich Schiel, Cláudio de Souza Baptista · 2003
Abstract: The classic problem of information integration has been addressed for a long time. The Semantic Web project is aiming to define an infrastructure that enables machine understanding. This is a vision that tackles the problem of semantic heterogeneity by using ontologies for information sharing. Agents have an important role in this infrastructure. In this paper we present a new solution, known as DIA (Data Integration using Agents), for semantic integration using mobile agents and ontologies. 1
