Objective
The primary objectives of the INFOSEM project are to investigate, prototype and disseminate methodologies and basic techniques which enable semantically interoperable information systems based on the pre-existing heterogeneous information resources to be constructed.
A modelling methodology and language facility meeting the requirements of information resource/application specification completeness, equivalence and uniformity will be developed. Basic framework and discipline leading to semantic interoperation will constitute the methodology for refinement of the application specification by the resource patterns in the interoperable environment. Sound foundations to justify the validity of information systems specification by coherent resource compositions will be incorporated.
Specifically, the INFOSEM project is directed towards closing the gap between industrial (such as OMG, CORBA, ODMG, the object database standard) and semantic interoperation frameworks.
The project is closely related to the ESPRIT project IRO-DB which addresses the construction of an interoperable system providing access to relational and object-oriented database systems. Both partners from Western Europe are partners in the IRO-DB project. The project will complement the approach taken in the IRO-DB project and hence directly contributes to a solution of the interoperability platform.
