Abstract:
The number of models available to the biorefining community is continuously increasing, there is a need to provide better ways for their description, categorization, discovery and integration in order to improve reusability of them. Biorefining models on the other hand are developed using heterogeneous methods, data format and various environments that makes their reuse challenging. In this paper, we describe a semantic web engine for the domain of biorefining, which enhances the description of biorefining model by using semantic web technologies in order to facilitate discovery and integration. In particular, we present how domain and web service ontologies are used in semantic mapping for the purpose of model integration, which is achieved by OWL-S (Semantic Markup for Web Services). Whilst the application has been designed and implemented for a specific domain, this novel design can be applicable to similar problems in other domains.
