An approach on Business process cooperation based on Ontology

Ontology is considered as one of the most important roles in knowledge sharing and reusing. However, how to effectively construct the enterprise process simulation domain ontology is a difficult problem. This paper proposed a pattern-layer Enterprise process ontology construction approach based on the EPMS and simple characteristic of CIM-OSA patterns in process simulation. The first step of this method is to construct a prototype of the process domain ontology having several representative conceptions and relations. And then it makes as enterprise architecture to manufacturing. Finally, it expands the prototype system of the enterprise process simulation. In the end of the paper, it gives an experimental result to show that the proposed method can effectively simulate business process and shows a useful diagnosis.
