MIKSI - A Semantic and Service Oriented Integration Platform

The MIKSI platform provides a novel information and workflow infrastructure for common tasks of marketing and public relations (e.g. producing and sending of press releases). MIKSI is based on a service oriented architecture using web service technology for communication and data exchange. The process flow is implemented in BPEL [1] using RDF [12] for message exchange. The underlying data model consist of RDF(S) repositories, e.g. event and address data as demonstrated in the first prototype. This paper presents the MIKSI platform with emphasize on its architecture, business processes, semantic data model and interfaces, tools, and other technical issues.
