Abstract
This approach describes a centralized framework that
offers a flexible integration and access to different external
knowledge sources via a single query interface. The advantage of
this approach is to use the potential of a combination of different
services to focus information and knowledge. Different SOAP or
REST-based Web services can be requested in parallel and their
results are integrated, analyzed and harmonized to one result
structure that is sent to the user’s client application. Various
knowledge sources, can be integrated in the framework, without
the need to know a query language of the Semantic Web like
SPARQL. A special point in this approach is the discovery of
services and the harmonization of the results of involved services
using matching and mapping rules.
