Semantic Annotation using the OASIS ebXML Classification Information Model

The image introduces the main components of the Registry Information Model required for semantic annotation of information elements managed by an OASIS ebXML RegRep.

Architecture

A certain (semantic) information element is described as a node (ClassificationNode). Nodes may have subordinates nodes assigned and are organized in schemes (ClassificationScheme).

Starting from this simple model, e.g. a taxonomy may be described as a scheme, and all of its hierarchically organized terms as nodes. Restricting to the elements of the Classification Information Model, an OASIS ebXML RegRep may be used as a platform to register and discovery all of the taxonomies defined for a certain enterprise.
