Abstract

Semantic integration and interoperability are vital for effective communication and data exchange in information systems. This paper explores the significance of shared referential semantics, ontological views (OVs), and intensional semantics in achieving semantic integration. It addresses the challenges arising from divergent OVs and emphasizes the role of accessibility relations in bridging gaps between different systems. The paper presents theorems establishing relationships between accessibility relations, the overlap of non-logical symbols, and the consistency and accessibility of OVs. It also examines mapping possibilities in decentralized environments by considering scenarios with shared intended models, overlapping intended models, or no intersection of intended models. The paper uses the healthcare domain as an illustrative example of applying intensional semantics and semantic interoperability. To ensure efficient semantic integration and interoperability, systems must consider the shared meaning of the vocabulary, particularly non-logical symbols, along with the underlying conceptualizations and intensional semantics.
