Knowledge integration based on semantic web in Collaborative Commerce environment

As the time of global economy integration and knowledge economy is coming, Collaborative-Commerce (C-Commerce) is emerging as a new generation e-business model. In C-Commerce, enterprises collaborate closely with each other on the basis of knowledge. Knowledge may be an important source of coordination and thus be central to supply chain collaboration, and the integration of knowledge inside and between the supply chains plays a key role to the success of C-Commerce. In this study, we concluded the previous studies on the field of knowledge integration, and propose a new knowledge integration model with three steps: knowledge reasoning, knowledge transformation and knowledge combination. Then we illustrated the prototype system using an example about RosettaNet PIP2A9. In the end, we explain the advantages of knowledge integration: adding value to the knowledge and achieving the effect that 1+1>2.
