Utilização de Bancos de Dados Ontológicos em Integração de Bases de Dados Heterogêneas

The increasing demand for new technologies allow greater user’s interactivity and participation, promoted the emergence of collaborative virtual environments. Users share heterogeneous resources in these environments, and stored in databases structurally different. For these data can be found, used efficiently and safely, must be integrated into a single and uniform format automatically, and shared with a negotiated manner. Thus many solutions have emerged with different proposals for better resources’ integration, interoperability and persistence in order to improve their use and sharing on social networks. Based on these aspects, this paper demonstrates the possibility of the integration of multimedia features and dynamically negotiated in a collaborative environment. The proposed integration occurs in an ontological level, and allows users to find multimedia resources through intelligent search using the semantics of each particular user in a secure manner.
