Method for operation support systems (OSS) integration by using semantic Web

Enterprise networks constructed in recent years have rarely composed one service offered by one company. Instead, they have typically combined various services provided by various carriers, with connections between IP-VPN, large-area Ethernet access networks, DSL providers, and so forth. Under these conditions, providing fast services according to customer needs requires information on related enterprises for flexible integration of the mechanism. To provide a method of meeting this requirement, we applied semantic Web and ontology technology to achieve information integration between enterprises. We examine the resulting system, which enables flexible cooperation.
