日本多层互操作通用词汇架构及其应用

Japanese Infrastructure for Multi-Layer Interoperability Common Vocabulary Framework and Its Application

多层互操作架构(Infrastructure for Multi-Layer Interoperability,IMI)是日本建设数字政府,推动政府开放数据而建立的基于标准术语词汇信息共享和利用的支撑环境。IMI通用词汇架构是IMI的重要组成部分,旨在建立一种统一共享术语含义和术语之间关系的机制。它由核心词汇、领域词汇和应用词汇组成,采用面向对象的建模方法,使用XML Schema、RDF Schema和JSON Schema等通用描述语言和IMI专用词汇描述方法。数据交换描述(DMD)是共享信息使用的信息交换模型,主要由数据模型、映射文件和说明文书等组成。IMI工具是实现信息交换的手段,包括词汇创建、DMD创建和验证、代码/代码列表创建、数据格式转换和数据验证等功能。信息交换的主要流程包括数据准备、应用词汇创建、DMD创建、数据输入、数据格式转换和数据使用等。

The Infrastructure for Multi-Layer Interoperability(IMI)which is built by the Japanese government for digital government and open government data,can provide a supportive environment for digital government to realize information sharing and utilization based on standard terminology.IMI Common Vocabulary Framework,as an important part of IMI,establishes a unified mechanism for sharing the meaning of terms and the relationship among them.IMI Common Vocabulary Framework is composed of core vocabulary,domain vocabulary and application vocabulary.It uses the object-oriented modeling method,XML Schema,RDF Schema and JSON Schema common description language and IMI specialized vocabulary description method.Data Model Description(DMD)is the information exchange model for sharing information,consisting of a data model,a mapping file and a document.IMI tool is a means to exchange information,including vocabulary creation,DMD creation and validation,code/code list creating,data format conversion and data validation.The procedure of information exchange mainly includes data preparation,application vocabulary creation,DMD creation,data input,data format conversion and data usage.
