An approach for supporting system of international logistics based on ontological engineering

Cross-bordering trade is considered as a significant driver in economic developments to promotions of regional stability and cooperations. With the current system, crossing borders must take much costs because there are many weak points in the processes, e.g., redundant clearance processes, and multiple documents requirements in different formats and different data elements. Thus, cross-bordering supporting system, which absorbs the differences between countries is required. In this paper, some classes of cross-bordering transportation ontology are proposed in order to develop such supporting system. In addition, flamework of the supporting system is shown.
