Title
Semantic Interoperability in the BRITE Project: Ontologies as a Tool for Collaboration, Cooperation and Knowledge Management
Abstract
Ontologies have been investigated for a while and are being studied as an instrument to enable cross-organizational semantic interoperability. The project BRITE (Business Register Interoperability Throughout Europe) aims at exploring ontologies as an instrument to effectively enable European Business Registers (BRs) to respond to changes imposed on them by European Union laws and new market requirements. In BRITE, ontologies are seen as a key instrument and technology to dissolve administrative, technical, cultural and lingual barriers of BRs on one hand, and as means to provide semantic interoperability on the other hand. The paper shows various ontology components of BRITE. It defines the inter-relation among these components and focuses on the domain ontology functionalities. We conclude with a critical reflection and valuable lessons learnt.
