Modern enterprises consist of complex business systems. These systems need to be integrated to support enterprises operation. The SOA and ESB become an important enterprise integration architecture style for designing and implementing integration systems. But there are some limitations of todays ESB framework, such as only syntactic description of service interface, inability to perform semantic mediation and incapable process knowledge management. Therefore developers need deep and intimate knowledge to develop integration systems. We introduce an ontology-based semantic annotation approach to enrich and reconcile semantics of data, services and process models on ESB that enables data, service and process models interoperability on the semantic level through common domain ontologies.

AbstractUbiquitous convergent telecommunication and Internet networks need to deliver services and content to users in a way that is tailored to the users’ context information and preferences. Thus, there is a new challenge in the areas of accurate service description, linking dynamic service discovery and invocation, which involves the services of telecom networks and the Internet. Semantic annotation can provide advantages for precise service description, discovery and composition. However, open service interface specifications of telecommunication networks are currently still in the syntactic level. By applying semantics to Parlay-based services for telecommunication networks and the Internet, we present an OWL-S-based semantic description approach for telecommunication network services, enabled by the telecommunication service domain ontologies to address the semantic interoperability that exists. Using this approach, we have implemented the semantic telecommunication services gateway and proposed the unified service integration architecture of telecommunication and Internet networks within the semantic-web service environment. Proof-of-concept prototype and case studies demonstrate the practical feasibility of the suggested solution.

Semantic Alignment

The paper describes the construction of a Bulgarian-English treebank aligned on the word and semantic level. We consider the manual word level alignment easier and more reliable than the manual alignment on syntactic and semantic level. Thus, after manual word level alignment we apply an automatic procedure for the construction of semantic level alignments. Our work presents the main steps of this automatic procedure which exploits the syntactic analysis of both sentences, morphosyntactic annotation, manual word level alignment in producing the semantic annotation of the sentences and semantic alignment. Last, but not least, a method for identification of potential errors is discussed using the automatically constructed semantic analyses of Bulgarian sentences and their comparison to the semantic representation of the English sentences.

Work Done

The work done in this chapter demonstrates how the main components of the SPMaAF framework and sets of algorithms described earlier in Chapters 3 and 4, respectively, fit and rely on each other in achieving the semantic enhancement of the discovered process models. This is done by representing the models discovered through the standard process mining techniques as a set of annotated terms that links to or references the concepts defined within ontologies. It permits the process analysts to formally represent and analyse the several information in the underlying knowledge-bases in a more efficient and yet accurate manner. Henceforth, the conceptualisation method or tactics is allied to semantic lifting of the process models.

Potential Use

Though Web services offer unique opportunities for the design of new business processes, the assessment of the potential impact of Web services is often reduced to technical aspects. This paper proposes a four-phase methodology which facilitates the evaluation of the potential use of Web services in e-business systems both from a technical and from a strategic viewpoint. It is based on business process models, which are used to frame the adoption of Web services and to assess their impact on existing business processes. The application of this methodology is described using a procurement scenario.

Distributed Process

Enterprise/business process models that represent knowledge of business processes are generally designed for particular applications in a range of different enterprises. It is a considerable challenge to manage the knowledge of processes that are distributed throughout many different information systems, due to the heterogeneity of the process models used. In this paper, the authors present a framework for semantic annotation that tackles the problem of the heterogeneity of distributed process models to facilitate management of process knowledge. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated by means of exemplar studies, and a comprehensive empirical evaluation is used to validate the authors’ approach.

Process models represent valuable resources for integration and alignment of business processes. Nowadays, due to networked business and tighter integration along a value chain, the number of enterprises that need to orchestrate their workflows is increasing. These circumstances urge companies to improve management of process models and templates. Machine-readable and interoperable semantics of the process templates facilitate retrieval and reuse. However, the heterogeneity of both model representations and modeling languages makes it difficult to retrieve, comprehend, compare, and reuse the templates. Therefore, in this chapter we elaborate on the semantic annotation of process model templates consisting of three basic parts: meta-model, domain, and goal annotations. For this purpose, we use ontologies representing generic constructs of process models, concepts from a business domain, and business goals. We illustrate application of the approach in OWL and provide a case study with exemplary semantic queries.
