Matchmaking Semantic Based for Information System Interoperability

Abstract

Unlike the traditional model of information pull, matchmaking is base on a cooperative partnership between information providers and consumers, assisted by an intelligent facilitator (the matchmaker). Refer to some experiments, the matchmaking to be most useful in two different ways: locating information sources or services that appear dynamically and notification of information changes. Effective information and services sharing in distributed such as P2P based environments raises many challenges, including discovery and localization of resources, exchange over heterogeneous sources, and query processing. One traditional approach for dealing with some of the above challenges is to create unified integrated schemas or services to combine the heterogeneous sources. This approach does not scale well when applied in dynamic distributed environments and has many drawbacks related to the large numbers of sources. The main issues in matchmaking are how to represent advertising and request, and how to calculate possibility matching between advertising and request. The advertising and request can represent data or services by using many model of representation. In this paper, we address an approach of matchmaking by considering semantic agreement between sources.
