Cases on Semantic Interoperability for Information Systems Integration

Semantic interoperability provides the means to automatically process and integrate large amounts of information without human intervention. Cases on Semantic Interoperability for Information Systems Integration: Practices and Applications provides an in-depth analysis of issues involved with the application of semantic interoperability to information assimilation tasks followed by field professionals. This significant collection of research explains in-depth issues involved the integration of large amounts of heterogeneous information and points to deficiencies of current systems.
