Abstract

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer exchange of highly structured business data between one application and another within a trading community, this case, the universities and state organizations of Ukraine. This Specification drafts the reference architecture of IEDI. IEDI is the software infrastructure supporting EDI. More precisely, IEDI is the multi-layered distributed information system comprising the software servers, services, components and tools for providing intelligent ontology-driven information retrieval from distributed, heterogeneous, legally and physically autonomous Information Resources (IRs) in the organizational framework of the National Higher Education System.IEDI reference architecture is built according to the following principles: the architecture is of mediator type using a centralized mediator; it exploits the hybrid approach to knowledge representation; it uses information resource registration to allow the resource become available for querying; it does not provide full automation for ontologies’ mapping and alignment; IEDI components use rewriting techniques with mappings to produce, process, and perform queries.
