COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REPRESENTING MULTIPLE SCHEMAS AND TRANSFERRING DATA BETWEEN DIFFERENT DATA SCHEMAS WITHIN A CONTEXTUAL ONTOLOGY

摘要

Methods and systems are provided which enable users to map and transform data between different data schemas while preserving the semantic integrity of the data. In accordance with the present invention, computer implemented methods and systems are provided for separation and mapping of representational and linguistic semantics. By representing the semantic portion of the schema using a formal ontology, these methods and systems allow data to be contextually transferred between different data schemas.
