Universal Business Language (UBL) is an OASIS initiative to develop common business document schemas to provide document interoperability in the eBusiness domain. Since the data requirements change according to a context, UBL schemas need to be customized and UBL defines a guideline to be followed for customization of schemas. XSD derivation based customization as proposed by UBL provides syntactic interoperability, that is, an XML parser that can interpret standard UBL documents can also interpret customized UBL documents. We argue that for UBL to become mainstream, syntactic interoperability alone is not enough. It needs to be supported by semantic interoperability, that is, it must be possible for users and even automated processes to discover and reuse customizations provided by other users.

Semantic enrichment for the automated customization and interoperability of ubl schemas Yarımağan, Yalın; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) Universal Business Language (UBL) is an initiative to develop common business document schemas to provide standardization in the electronic business domain. However, businesses operate in different industry, geopolitical, and regulatory contexts and consequently they have different rules and requirements for the information they exchange. In this thesis, we provide semantic enrichment mechanisms for UBL that (i) allow automated customization of document schemas in response to contextual needs and (ii) maint...
Enhancing ebXML registries to make them OWL aware Doğaç, Asuman; Kabak, Y; Laleci, GB; Mattocks, C; Najmi, F; Pollock, J (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01) ebXML is a standard from OASIS and UN/CEFACT which specifies an infrastructure to facilitate electronic business. In this paper, we address how ebXML registry semantics support can be further enhanced to make it OWL aware. OWL constructs are represented through ebXML registry information model constructs, and stored procedures are defined in the ebXML registry for processing the OWL semantics. These predefined stored queries provide the necessary means to exploit the enhanced semantics stored in the registr...
A monolithic approach to automated composition of semantic web services with the Event Calculus Okutan, Cagla; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan (Elsevier BV, 2010-07-01) In this paper, a web service composition and execution framework is presented for semantically -annotated web services. A monolithic approach to automated web service composition and execution problem is chosen, which provides some benefits by separating composition and execution phases. An AI planning method using a logical formalism, namely Abductive Event Calculus, is chosen for the composition phase. This formalism allows one to generate a narrative of actions and temporal orderings using abductive plan...
METU Interoperable Database system Dogac, Asuman; Halıcı, Uğur; Kilic, Ebru; Ozhan, Gokhan; Ozcan, Fatma; Nural, Sena; Dengi, Cevdet; Mancuhan, Sema; Arpinar, Budak; Koksal, Pinar; Evrendilek, Cem (1996-01-01) A multidatabase system based on OMG's distributed object management architecture and named Middle East Technical University (METU) INteroperable Database management system (MIND) is presented. MIND employs a dynamic query optimizer. After a query is decomposed, the global subsequeries are sent to the involved Local Database Agent (LDA) objects. The optimization process starts after the first partial result from a LDA object becomes available. For optimizing the intersite operations among these partial resul...
A Semantic-Based Solution for UBL Schema Interoperability Yarimagan, Yalin; Doğaç, Asuman (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-05-01) The Universal Business Language (UBL) is an initiative to develop common business document schemas for interoperability. However, businesses operate in different industry, geopolitical, and regulatory contexts and have different rules and requirements for the information they exchange. So, several trading communities are tailoring UBL schemas to their needs, requiring that these schemas translate to each other. In this article, the authors describe how to enhance UBL with semantics-based translation mechani...
