AN ONTOLOGICAL APPROACH TO CROSS-ENTERPRISE COLLABORATION
Abstract
Cross-enterprise collaboration is one of the challenges on the business-tobusinessintegration (B2Bi) research nowadays. With the support of Semantic Webtechnologies, the gap between business and IT communities has been reduced in order totackle the mentioned challenge. Semantic Web-based approaches for BPM have been apromising solution taking advantages of Semantic Web technologies such as ontologies,semantic web services. In this paper, we propose a new approach called OntologicalHierarchical Task Network based on HTN Planning and Web Service Modelling Ontologyfor forming collaborative business processes for the cross-enterprise collaboration.Keywords: Business Process Management, Semantic BPM, B2B integration, Crossenterprisecollaboration, Ontology, Semantic Web, Web services.References
