Abstract

This paper describes a standard interoperability model based on a knowledge representation language such as Conceptual Graphs (CGs). In particular, it describes how an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) mapping facility can use CG contexts to integrate and compare different trade documents by combining and analysing different concept lattices derived from formal concept analysis theory. In doing this, we hope to provide a formal construct which will support the next generation of EDI trading concerned with corporate information.
