Semantic Web-Based Information Systems: State-of-the-Art ...

Semant c E-Bus ness
similation of emergent technologies to enable semantic e-business processes, and
the contribution to organizations’ value propositions. Topics of research directions
include the development of innovative, knowledge-rich business models that enhance
collaborations in e-business processes, and innovative technical models that enable
the vision of semantic e-business.
One of our current research initiatives involves developing models for the representation
of knowledge, using ontologies and intelligent agents for semantic
processing of cross-enterprise business processes over heterogeneous systems. For
the Semantic Web to be a vibrant and humane environment for sharing knowledge
and collaborating on a wide range of intellectual enterprises, the W3C must include
in its Semantic Web initiatives research agenda the creation of policy-aware
infrastructure, along with a trust language for the Semantic Web that can represent
complex and evolving relationships.
