Information Interoperability Services

They cover the case of multiple actors involved in the collaboration and encompass publish/subscribe/negotiate mechanism for solving the interoperability gaps at data level

The innovative information interoperability services include several services, logically grouped into three main categories:

  • Innovative Services for Interoperability Spaces: which analyses and studies new ways to perform communication, coordination and exchange of business documents in interoperability spaces (1:1, 1:n, n:m communications).
  • Innovative Services for Semantic Reconciliation: which starts from the results obtained in EU Project ATHENA (ATHENA IP – 507849) and develops new features to extend and make more performing the operation of translation between documents and ontologies.
  • Innovative Services for Federated Interoperability: analyzing and studying new ways to perform information interoperability in a federated space, where no common reference models are available.

The first group (Innovative Services for Interoperability Spaces) and the third group) present two different views of the same problem: how to present the same document to people using different formats.

One solution (interoperability spaces) uses a more “classical” approach based on reconciliation with ontologies.

The second solution (federated space) applies a more innovative approach, where no reference models are available.

Both the solutions need some services to perform all the necessary transformations and such services will be provided by the second group of services: Innovative Services for Semantic Reconciliation.

All COIN II Services are semantically enriched, Meaning they must have a semantic layer that allows the services to describe themselves and the features they are able to complete. This layer is necessary because one of the goals of COIN is to develop a Generic Service Platform (GSP), which can act as a gateway to access all these kind of services deployed in the net.

Thanks to the semantic layer available for the Innovative Services, the GSP will be able to identify what are the features that every service is able to fulfil, and orchestrate them in order to satisfy the request (goal) expressed by the user.
