Semantic system for integrating software components
First Claim
1. A method for automatically integrating data across disparate information systems, comprising:
- developing a first set of mapping relations that map entities in a source structured data model to corresponding entities in a target structured data model;
developing a second set of mapping relations that map entities in the source structured data model and entities in the target structured data model to one or more shared contexts;
processing the first and second sets of mapping relations to generate a new structured data model; and
generating a web service comprising executable code that publishes the new structured data model to implement workflow between the source information system and the destination information system, the workflow comprising a path through a sequence of information systems processed by traversing through entities of the new structured data model to resolve an operation of the web service.

Abstract
A method and a scripting paradigm for automatically integrating disparate information systems (e.g., web services and databases) within a given enterprise into a service-oriented architecture. A script writer generates a script using a scripting paradigm, and the resulting script automatically derives new data models, new ontological structures, new mappings, and a new web service that integrates disparate information systems. In addition to integrating disparate information systems, the scripts may be harvested to automate the metadata discovery and retrieval process. The scripting paradigm builds upon existing open-source scripting languages and is compatible with existing internet browsers, thus encouraging mass participation in the integration process.

9. A computer-readable storage device having computer program logic recorded thereon, execution of which, by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations for automatically integrating data across disparate information systems, the operations comprising:
-
developing a first set of mapping relations that map entities in a source structured data model to corresponding entities in a target structured data model; developing a second set of mapping relations that map entities in the source structured data model and entities in the target structured data model to one or more shared contexts; processing the first and second sets of mapping relations to generate new structured data model; and generating a web service comprising executable code that publishes the new structured data model to implement workflow between the source information system and the destination information system, the workflow comprising a sequence of information systems processed by traversing through entities of the new structured data model to resolve an operation of the web service. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
