Title
A Reference Architecture for Building Semantic-Web Mediators.
Abstract
The Semantic Web comprises a large amount of distributed and heterogeneous ontologies, which have been developed by different communities, and there exists a need to integrate them. Mediators are pieces of software that help to perform this integration, which have been widely studied in the context of nested relational models. Unfortunately, mediators for databases that are modelled using ontologies have not been so widely studied. In this paper, we present a reference architecture for building semantic-web mediators. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reference architecture in the bibliography that solves the integration problem as a whole, contrarily to existing approaches that focus on specific problems. Furthermore, we describe a case study that is contextualised in the digital libraries domain in which we realise the benefits of our reference architecture. Finally, we identify a number of best practices to build semantic-web mediators.
