Paper Abstract:
|
Nowadays, many enterprises must go through the integration of their heterogeneous information systems, an endeavour
in which one of the main activities is semantic integration. In fact, the semantic integration process, implicit or explicitly
handled, is a central piece within any Enterprise Information System integration project. This paper presents, discusses
and locates semantic integration issues within the context of the phases, processes and tasks of a recently introduced
Enterprise Information Systems integration method. In this way, the method, that we have developed based on practical
experience and by following the method engineering ontology set up by the new ISO/IEC 24744 standard, is extended
with the explicit consideration of semantic integration. However, rather than addressing in-depth semantic integration
issues, in this paper we provide a contextualization and analysis for it within enterprise IS integration projects in general,
and in particular we propose their consideration and location in our own method. Moreover, we also identify and propose
methodological elements to facilitate continuous learning along the complete life cycle of our method, and of Enterprise
Information Systems projects in general. |
