Research on the integration method to Web-based parts library

Web-based parts library is a main tool to realize parts resource sharing. Integrating numerous supplier libraries that are autonomous and heterogeneous and providing end user a uniform query interface is a primary requirement for successful implement of Web-based parts library. To solve these conflicts which occur in the integration process, in this paper, we build a PLIB ontology model and the dual hierarchy description model of parts library based on data dictionary technology (PLIB ontology). And then the integration algorithm of numerous supplier libraries is presented based on the two models.
