A Case Study in Integrating Multiple E-commerce Standards via Semantic Web Technology

Abstract
Internet business-to-business transactions present great challenges
in merging information from different sources. In this paper we
describe a project to integrate four representative commercial classification
systems with the Federal Cataloging System FCS. The FCS is
used by the US Defense Logistics Agency to name, describe and classify
all items under inventory control by the DoD. Our approach uses the
ECCMA Open Technical Dictionary eOTD as a common vocabulary
to accommodate all different classifications. We create a semantic bridging
ontology between each classification and the eOTD to describe their
logical relationships in OWL DL. The essential idea is that since each
classification has formal definitions in a common vocabulary, we can use
subsumption to automatically integrate them, thus mitigating the need
for pairwise mappings. Furthermore our system provides an interactive
interface to let users choose and browse the results and more importantly
it can translate catalogs that commit to these classifications using
compiled mapping results.
