Cases on Semantic Interoperability for Information Systems Integration: Practices and Applications

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.
