The architecture of an enterprise information management system based on Semantic Web

The Semantic Web is a project and vision of the World Wide Web Consortium to extend the current Web, so that information is given well-defined meaning and structure, enhancing computers and people to work in cooperation. Semantic technologies are being added to enterprise solutions to accommodate new techniques for discovering relationships across different database, business applications and Web services. In this paper, we present an architectural model for a software tool which combines the use of Semantic Web mechanisms with database metadata and data warehousing mechanisms. If the benefits of the Semantic Web concept are combined with a powerful database server, then the information management will be much improved.
