An Optimization Approach for Semantic-based XML Schema Matching

May 16, 2013
Author(s)
Jaewook Kim, Yun Peng, Nenad Ivezic, Jun H. Shin
We propose a novel solution for semantic-based XML schema matching, taking a mathematical programming approach. This method identifies the globally optimal solution for the problem of matching leaf nodes between two XML schema trees by reducing the tree-to

This paper provides a high-level introduction to new features in processes and interaction diagrams in the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) Version 2.0. BPMN 2.0 expands the capabilities of BPMN 1.x Process and Collaboration diagrams, and adds

Semantic B2B-integration Using an Ontological Message Metamodel

September 1, 2010
Author(s)
Marko Vujasinovic, Nenad Ivezic, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Zoran Marjanovic
E-Business applications are often required to use different, incompatible, message sets to implement message interfaces for a business-to-business (B2B) communication. This makes communication with every new partner a new interoperability problem. In this

Trade Collaboration Systems
