A Semantic Service Oriented Architecture for Enterprise Application Integration

Abstract

Although service oriented architecture (SOA) goes a long way toward providing interoperability in distributed and heterogeneous environments for enterprise application integration (EAI), managing semantic differences in such environments remains a challenge. This paper proposes a framework of semantic SOA for enterprise application integration, and uses Web service modeling ontology (WSMO) as its semantic service model. Last, we introduce a running example using semantic SOA for enterprise application integration.
