This paper illustrates the benefits of inserting a semantic layer into information systems that use N-Tier architectures. By introducing the Ontology and Semantic services above the data tier, we succeed in not only specifying semantics but also in integrating software components into the enterprise. This design allows us to integrate legacy systems, or RDBMS and Web services, without software development.
