Bridging The Messaging Gap Using Non-Integrated Non-Literal Notions

Current research in ontology-driven publish/subscribe brokers presupposes that the semantics of events tags along with it, rendering it inapplicable to traditional models. Herein, we explore a non-intrusive modus operandi that relies on overlaying agents across a network of potentially heterogeneous brokers. Firstly, we define a minimalist reference model in terms of topic maps of interesting subjects. Secondly, we create domain-specific agents to eavesdrop on events in such broker models as WS-N, JMS, XMPP, DDS and AMQP. Thirdly, we assemble a topic maps of multi- agents that associates brokers having related subjects topic maps, or abstractions thereof. Finally, a workflow conceptualizes subjects of inbound-events as per its topic maps, finds compatible subjects in the same or other domains reachable from the agents topic maps, taking care to avoid redundant events, and mediates the content into publishable outbound-events. In addition, content-based routing checks may be performed if subscription metadata is available.
