BRITE at CoopIS 2008

A paper on BRITE presented at the 16th International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems in Monterrey, Mexico.

A paper on "Semantic Interoperability in the BRITE Project: Ontologies as a Tool for Collaboration, Cooperation and Knowledge Management" by BRITE Partners T. Herborn (IWVI), A. Mondorf (IWVI), B. Mougouie (DFKI), and M. A. Wimmer (DFKI) has been presented at the 16th International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS 2008) in Monterrey, Mexico, on 14 November 2008. The paper shows how BRITE uses ontologies as a key instrument and technology to dissolve administrative, technical, cultural and lingual barriers of Business Registers as well as means to provide semantic interoperability; and provides a critical reflection and valuable lessons learnt. Further information is available on the conference website at http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/index.html?page=coopis2008cfp.
