Ontology-driven data governance**

电子商务、电子政务和电子科学等领域的许多应用都需要对各种数据集进行语义集成，并在不同的软件系统和服务之间实现语义互操作。软件应用程序互操作的必要性已成为组织中进行业务和运营的关键。本体的发展被认为是支持语义集成的关键技术。本体论是一种逻辑理论，它提供了一组术语，以及计算机可解释的某种形式逻辑语言中术语含义的说明。本体通过**对软件系统各自本体中术语的共同理解来支持软件系统的语义集成。*与加拿大皇家银行合作，我们提出了三个项目，将使用本体支持金融领域的数据治理。这些项目将侧重于语义集成、财务软件注释和数据质量。第一年将专注于开发金融本体**以支持RBC用例，而第二年将专注于应用这些本体的技术--语义集成、本体评估和自动推理。*

Many applications in the domains of e-commerce, e-government, and e-science require the semantic integration of a wide variety of datasets and semantic interoperability among diverse software systems and services. The necessity for software applications to interoperate has become crucial to the conduct of business and operations in organizations. The development of ontologies has been proposed as a key technology to support semantic integration. Ontologies are logical theories that provide a set of terms together with a computer-interpretable specification of the meanings of the terms in some formal logical language. Ontologies support the semantic integration of software systems through **a shared understanding of the terminology in their respective ontologies.****In collaboration with RBC, we propose three projects that will support data governance using ontologies for the financial domain. The projects will focus on semantic integration, annotation of financial software, and data quality. The first year will focus on the development of financial ontologies**to support RBC uses cases, while the second year will focus on techniques for applying these ontologies -- semantic integration, ontology evaluation, and automated reasoning.****
