Semantic Integration Process of Business Components through Ontology Alignment

Abstract

Ontology Alignment (OA) identifies semantically matching of different entities, OA continues to attract great attention within the database, information system and artificial intelligence communities. OA used to solve the semantic heterogeneity and hide the complexity of retrieving entities of heterogeneous source. That's why we rely on the OA for resolving semantic conflict during design phase of information system, particularly in semantic integration of Business Components (BC). Our contribution concerns a solution for the integration of BC based on the ontologies alignment in order to support information system designers.
