SIMF 2013 - International Workshop on Semantic Information Modeling for Federation

The purpose of Semantic Information Federation is to help federate information across different authorities, vocabularies and formats. Current conceptual and logical information modeling approaches tend to be focused on a particular information modeling problem, using a particular technology. Examples of such technical approaches include object modeling & E/R modeling, Ontologies and exchange schema modeling. This workshop seeks to address the problem of information federation utilizing standards for ontologies, conceptual domain modeling, logical information modeling and model bridging relationships. This workshop is motivated by but not limited to the SIMF {Semantic Information Modeling for Federation} RFP effort current within the Object Management Group.
