Semantic Interoperability
A novel communication approach and a possible implementation of it that, exploiting the Semantic Web technologies, allows semantic interoperability among software agents in the Web, preserving not only the semantics but also the subjectivity of the agent's world vision in the communication. Such an approach takes advantage of a particular communication model called Semantic Triangle in which communication agents share the referents (real world objects) and not the concepts (mental image or impression of a real object from the sender agents point of view), thus ensuring an effective semantic interoperability in the information exchange process.

A Novel Approach for Semantic Interoperability in the Web Based on the Semantic Triangle Communication Model. Int. J. Softw. Eng. Knowl. Eng. 21(7): 1037-1073 (2011)
In this paper we propose a novel communication approach and a possible implementation of it that, exploiting the Semantic Web technologies, allows semantic interoperability among software agents in the Web, preserving not only the semantics but also the subjectivity of the agent's world vision in the communication. Such an approach takes advantage of a particular communication model called Semantic Triangle in which communication agents share the referents (real world objects) and not the concepts (mental image or impression of a real object from the sender agents point of view), thus ensuring an effective semantic interoperability in the information exchange process.
The proposed approach has been submitted to an experiment that involved an instantiation of the communication process based on semantic machines and showed the approach feasibility for the semantic information exchange and its effectiveness.
Ensuring Semantic Interoperability for e-Health Applications
The exchange of information between heterogeneous and distributed health information systems preserving the semantics is an important open issue for the health care sector. In this paper, we propose an approach that, exploiting the Semantic Web technologies, has the objective of allowing semantic interoperability among software agents for e-Health applications that preserves, not only the semantic of transmitted messages, but also the subjectivity of agent's world vision in the communication The proposed approach exploits the Semantic Triangle Model to differentiate the roles of referents (real world objects) and concepts (mental image or impression about a real object) in the communication process and ensures an effective semantic interoperability without the need of a unique shared conceptualization.
Using Ontologies to Achieve Semantic Interoperability in the Web: An Approach Based on the Semantic Triangle Model
In this paper, we propose an architecture that, exploiting the Semantic Web technologies, has the objective of allowing semantic interoperability among software agents in the Web. Such an architecture takes advantage by the Semantic Triangle model in which communication agents share the referents (real world objects) and not the references (mental image of a real object of the sender agent), thus ensuring an effective semantic interoperability in the information exchange process. We have carried a case study in order to assess the appropriateness and the feasibility of the process for the semantic information exchange by realizing and testing an instantiation of the related architecture.
