Vertical integration of enterprise industrial systems utilizing web services
TLDR
A distributed system architecture that utilizes dominant state-of-the-art standard technologies, such as workflows, ontologies, and web services, in order to address the need for interoperability in the industrial enterprise environment in an efficient way is presented.Abstract:
The need for interoperability is prominent in the industrial enterprise environment. Different applications and systems that cover the overall range of the industrial infrastructure from the field to the enterprise level need to interoperate. This quest is driven by the enterprise need for greater flexibility and for the wider possible integration of the enterprise systems. This paper presents a distributed system architecture that utilizes dominant state-of-the-art standard technologies, such as workflows, ontologies, and web services, in order to address the above quest in an efficient way.read more

Business process execution language for web services
TL;DR: This book focuses on executable processes and comes back to abstract processes in Chapter 4, which can be used to replace sets of rules usually expressed in natural language, which is often ambiguous.
RDF Vocabulary Description Language 1.0 : RDF Schema. W3C Proposed Recommendation
TL;DR: The Resource Description Framework (RDF) as mentioned in this paper is a general-purpose language for representing information in the Web. This specification defines a vocabulary for this purpose and defines other built-in RDF vocabulary initially specified in the RDF Model and Syntax Specification.

Toward Distributed Use of Large-Scale Ontologies t
TL;DR: The relation between ontologies and the process of developing a system is discussed, arguing that to be useful, an ontology needs to be created as a "living document", whose development is tightly integrated with the system’s.
