Semantic
Interoperability is enabled through:
|
|
|
|
– |
Establishing
base semantic representation via ontologies (class
|
|
|
level) and their
knowledge bases (instance level)
|
|
|
|
– |
Defining
semantic mappings & transformations among ontologies
|
|
(and treating
these mappings as individual theories just like
|
|
|
ontologies)
|
|
|
|
– |
Defining
algorithms that can determine semantic similarity and
|
|
|
employing their
output in a semantic mapping facility that uses
|
|
|
ontologies
|
|
|
| • |
The
use of ontologies & semantic mapping software can
|
|
|
reduce
the loss of semantics (meaning) in information
|
|
|
exchange
among heterogeneous applications,
such as:
|
|
|
|
– |
Web Services
|
|
|
|
– |
E-Commerce,
E-Business
|
|
|
|
– |
Enterprise
architectures, infrastructures, and applications
|
|
|
|
– |
Complex C4ISR
systems-of-systems

Integrated
Intelligence analysis
