            Abstract : 
One common goal in the area of very large business applications (VLBAs) is integration to achieve lean and efficient processes. In addition, semantic integration using ontologies is the next step to interoperability. In this paper we describe an approach how ontologies could support VLBAs. To clarify the problems and challenges we explain semantic integration in the context of the FERP systems.
