Ontological Mappings of Product Catalogues

In this paper we built on top of recent effort in the areas of semantics and interoperability to establish the basis for a comprehensive and sustainable approach to the development and later management of bridging systems among a variety of corporate system that need to be interconnected without being individually modified. In particular, we collect some preliminary evidence that a sustainable approach exists to the definition of mappings which can withstand changes of the underlying classification schemes. This in turn adds evidence towards the feasibility of a dynamic interoperable infrastructure supporting a global adaptive electronic market place.
