Design and realization of ebXML registry classification model based on ontology

In Web service, one of the essential requirements in e-business is to classify and register the complex information. How to describe the registry classification information and construct the registry classification model is a keystone of realizing complex information classification and registry in ebXML/R&R system. Semantic Web is an important initiative in this respect, we introduce ontology into the description of registry classification information and describe registry classification information ontology with OWL, and then we retrieve a registry classification model (RCM) to manage the registry classification information specially, which is abstracted from ebXML/RIM. Finally, an example of constructing the ebXML/R&R classification model based ontology is presented to illustrate the approach. The study of registry classification model based on ontology has theoretic and practical significance for realizing the interoperability between ebXML/R&R and other information source R&R classification registry technology.
