the bCLEARer™ approach
bCLEARer is an approach to mining the semantics from existing systems. The full process mines the underlying ontology from multiple source systems, providing a basis for semantic interoperability. BORO has been developing the approach since the late 80s. bCLEARer is the latest incarnation of this approach.
The full bCLEARer has five stages - listed below:
|
bCLEARer stages |
aim |
|
Collect |
select the data; establish the broad scope |
|
Load |
structure the data |
|
Evolve |
(foundationally) ontologise the data |
|
Assimilate |
integrate into the global repository |
|
Reuse |
publish data in reuse format |
The bCLEARer approach can be seen as a way to increase the semantic maturity of the data.
