<objectives>Students will learn the significance of semantic integration as an important and frequently underestimated component of software architectures. Why do we need semantic interoperability? Why is it so difficult to implement? After being introduced to the fundamental definitions and terminology of semantics, students will learn to recognize that semantic conflicts are unavoidable and therefore have to be treated appropriately.

Students will become acquainted with the ideas and approaches used in solving semantic interoperability problems, and with their use in typical applications such as a e-business and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI).
