Semantic integration process of business components to support information system designers
This work addresses a specific research problem in engineering by reuse for information system designers, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing themes of component reuse and ontology alignment.
The paper tackles the problem of integrating Business Components (BC) by proposing a domain ontology-guided process to detect and resolve semantic naming conflicts, aiming to assist information system designers during integration.
The present work is inscribed within the intersection of two scientific thematic: the engineering by reuse of components and ontologies alignment. The integration of Business Components (BC) is a research problem that has been identified in the field of engineering by reuse. Our proposal aims to provide assistance to designers of information systems in the integration phase. It is a process guided by domain ontology to provide semantic integration of BC. This process allows the detection and resolution of semantic conflicts naming type encountered in the process of integration of BC.
