A service provider or a group of collaborating service providers should precede in
the implementation of the activities described in these six phases in order to realize
selected integration scenarios.
Conclusion.and. Future.Work
In this chapter, we have proposed a semantic integration framework, called FUSION,
based on Web services and Semantic Web technologies. Our proposed approach
introduces the deployment of SE-SOBAs that enlarge the notion of SOA by using
ontologies to describe data structures and messages passed through Web service
interfaces. We have also proposed the development of a pure semantic-based implementation
of the UDDI specification, called Pure Semantic Registry.
The combination of SE-SOBAs with the pure semantic-based registry and the
rule-based formalization of business scenarios and processes constitute a businessdriven
semantic integration framework applied to intra- and inter-organizational
integration scenarios. Moreover, we have specified the FUSION adoption framework
that constitutes a light, concrete methodology that supports enterprises and
organizations to apply the FUSION integration solution to their enterprise system
environment, as well as a typical integration scenario that uses the case of multinational,
franchising firms.
