Description:

Semantic interoperability provides the means to automatically process and integrate large amounts of information without human intervention.

Cases on Semantic Interoperability for Information Systems Integration: Practices and Applications provides an in-depth analysis of issues involved with the application of semantic interoperability to information assimilation tasks followed by field professionals. This significant collection of research explains in-depth issues involved the integration of large amounts of heterogeneous information and points to deficiencies of current systems.

Reviews

This book brings together some of the best current thinking on the conceptual foundations and domain-specific practices of semantic interoperability. It is an essential resource for all those concerned with resolving the problem of semantic heterogeneity.

– Peter E. Hart, Ricoh Innovations, Inc., California

This book looks at ways in which theoreticians and engineers have managed, so far, to come to terms with heterogeneity.

– Dave Robertson, University of Edinburgh, UK
