Abstract

Many distributed heterogenous systems exchange information between them. Currently, most of them are described in terms of ontologies. When ontologies are distributed, arises the problem of achieving sematic interoperability. This is undertaken by a process which defines rules to relate these ontologies, called “Ontology Mapping” in order to achieve a given goal. This paper describes a methodology for automatic and semantic mapping of ontologies. Our main interest is focused on ontologies describing services of systems. These ontologies are called “Service Ontologies”. So, we investigate an approach where the mapping of ontologies provides full semantic integration between distributed service ontologies using Information Flow model.
