Semantic metadata in enterprise integration

Abstract

Semantic metadata involved in information aggregation in component based service, it allows two separate entities coordinate and ultimately decide on the same implicit ground-rules captures the essence of interoperability. Semantic metadata is crucial for enterprise interoperability to integrate the metadata between business, service and information layers, this creates visibility of vertical alignment within enterprise architecture and use metadata configuration to construct the mapping between each layer. There are four basic types of semantic metadata, top down structure retrieval, bottom up information aggregation, remote meta script execution and retrieval and repository in holding the integration interoperability. Each type of metadata play important role and contribute their values to enterprise integration.
