RDFT: A Mapping Meta-Ontology for Business Integration

To create new added value the Semantic Web has to provide new means for business integration enabling open world-wide cooperation between various enterprises. Existing business integration techniques assume the enterprises having similar conceptual models of the objects being exchanged, and this limits their application areas. The Semantic Web needs to possess a technique capable of mapping different conceptual models in the business integration context. We propose a mapping meta-ontology built on top of RDF Schema using previous experiences in modelling mappings, specifics of RDF Schema and business integration
