SEMANTIC INTEGRATION OF DISPARATE DATA SOURCES IN THE COG PROJECT

Jos de Bruijn

2004

Abstract

We present a novel approach to the integration of structured information sources in enterprises, based on Semantic Web technology. The semantic information integration approach presented in this paper was applied in the COG project. We describe Unicorn’s Semantic Information Management along with the Unicorn Workbench tool, which is a component part of the Unicorn System, and how they were applied in the project to solve the information integration problem. We used the Semantic Information Management Methodology and the Unicorn Workbench tool to create an Information Model (an ontology) based on data schemas taken from the automotive industry. We map these data schemas to the Information Model in order to make the meaning of the concepts in the data schemas explicit and relate them to each other, thereby creating an information architecture that provides a unified view of the data sources in the organization.
