Abstract<br />

In this chapter, we describe an infrastructure enabling archetype-based semantic<br />

interoperability <strong>of</strong> <strong>Web</strong> service messages exchanged in <strong>the</strong> health care domain. We<br />

annotate <strong>the</strong> <strong>Web</strong> service messages with <strong>the</strong> OWL representation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> archetypes.<br />

Then, by providing <strong>the</strong> ontology mapping between <strong>the</strong> archetypes, we show that <strong>the</strong><br />

interoperability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Web</strong> service message instances can be achieved automatically.<br />

An OWL mapping tool, called OWLmt, has been developed for this purpose. OWLmt<br />

uses OWL-QL engine, which enables <strong>the</strong> mapping tool to reason over <strong>the</strong> source<br />

archetype instances while generating <strong>the</strong> target archetype instances according to<br />

<strong>the</strong> mapping patterns defined through a GUI.<br />
