Abstract
Garment Quick Response Network highly demand efficient and automatic Information Interoperability to bridge heterogeneous applications at various domains into an integrative system. However, the natural characteristics of garment industries impede the communication to be established on traditional techniques such as EDI, XML, etc. Noticing that common knowledge is a solid foundation for information to interoperate but requires more delicate mechanism to bring it into realization, this paper presents a design to introduce Ontology into garment industry information systems and figures out a general framework of an Ontology-based intelligent Information Cooperating Systems. The focus of this paper is not the implementation detail of Ontological Language, Description Logic or Reasoning Method, instead, it concentrate on the general mechanism, formalization logic and Mediator Model of Information Interoperability in an engineering view. Though Ontology has been widely applied in knowledge engineering systems of GIS Platforms, Medical Information Systems and Workflow Management Systems, it is still novel for it to be discussed in conducting Information Interoperability with Garment Industries background.
