The architecture of a distributed enterprise information management system based on Semantic Web

The Semantic Web is a development of the World Wide Web in which the meaning (semantics) of information web is defined, making it possible for the web to "understand" and satisfy the requests of people. Semantic technologies are being added to enterprise solutions to accommodate new techniques for discovering relationships across different databases, business applications and Web services. In this paper, we present an architectural model for a distributed 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 and with the strong points of a distributed application, then the information management will be improved.
