Most approaches to B2B interoperability are based on language
syntax standardisation, usually by XML Schemas. However, due to XML
expressivity limitations, they are difficult to put into practice because language
semantics are not available for computerised means. Therefore, there are many
attempts to use formal semantics for B2B based on ontologies. However, this is
a difficult jump as there is already a huge XML-based B2B framework and ontology-based
approaches lack momentum. Our approach to solve this impasse is
based on a direct and transparent transfer of existing XML Schemas and XML
data to the semantic world. This process is based on a XML Schema to web ontology
mapping combined with an XML data to semantic web data one. Once in
the semantic space, it is easier to integrate different business standards using
ontology alignment tools and to develop business information systems thanks to
semantics-aware tools. |
