摘要
Integration of data continues to be a problem. The number of databases available to a corporation continues to grow. Several issues must be considered in order to interpret a user's request and generate the commands necessary to extract the data from a variety of data sources. One such issue is that the process must consider the domain issues. It has to consider what the user is trying to accomplish in the context of the domain the user is working in. In this paper we define an ontology model for handling the domain issues that uses ontologies for object (entity) search and (function). processes within the domain. A prototype to test the feasibility of the model is presented.
