Title
Semantic mediator querying
Abstract
We present the whole querying process of our ontology-based data integration proposal, that we call Semantic Mediator. The global schema (a TBox) is composed of the source schemas (also Tboxes) and a taxonomy, which links the sources to each other. The querying process is based on the global-schema's structure and consists of three steps: global query rewriting, source querying and global answer building. We describe the overall distributed system and the query-rewriting algorithm. Then we present an application of such a semantic mediation, the Personae project, which is for enabling historians to share their prosopographic data from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
