Projekt DIP

Daten-, Informations- und Prozeßintegration mit Semantic Web Services

The major mission of DIP is to further develop semantic web and web services, with the goal of enabling their combination into one. Web Services are the proper means for accessing semantically enriched data, and semantic enrichment of web services is essential for scalability and the maturation of the idea of Web Services. The new area that will be produced from the fruitful combination of the Semantic Web and Web Services may be called Semantic Web Services. Significant research work needs to be done before the infrastructure underlying Web Services can make the vision behind the idea a reality. In a nutshell, it is the mission of DIP to make Semantic Web Service become a reality as the new infrastructure for eWork and eCommerce. The successful creation of such an infrastructure could potentially change the way electronic cooperation and business is conducted to the same extent that the original Web revolutionised electronic information access.
