An Enterprise Ontology Model for Web Services of Web-Based Manufacturing

This paper aims to resolve the problem of lacking of necessary semantic information when Web service is described in the filed of Web-based manufacturing. An enterprise ontology model is built from the view of Web service. The enterprise class, as the center of this model, connects other classes, such as process class, resource class etc. Especially, the resource class is described in detail about the dynamic and static attribute and its trigger mechanism. Based on this model, Web services in the field of Web-based manufacturing are able to be marked with semantic information which can be easily understand by every partner in the enterprise alliance or service requester. Meanwhile, any individual team members can keep their own preferred vocabularies or terms. The result of this paper lays a solid base for invoking the Web service dynamically and automatically compositing Web services to meet customerpsilas different requests.
