Abstract :
One of the main challenges for enterprise application integration is the semantically correct integration of systems. There are many approaches that aim to address this problem, but most of them focus mainly on technical and syntactical aspects. This paper presents an Ontology-Based Approach for Semantic Integration (OBA-SI), which uses ontologies as conceptual models for defining mappings between applications in three layers: data, service and process. OBA-SI was applied for integrating two software tools supporting a Software Configuration Management process: a tool for controlling changes, and Subversion, a well known version control system.
