Abstract :
Ontologies present a state-of-the-art technology for the provision of machine-readable semantics. Its utilization for the annotation of end-to-end enterprise/industrial processes characterizing advanced collaborative business models, largely contributes to enterprise interoperability, flexibility and component reusability. Our work in this paper emphasizes on the use of ontologies in combination with workflows for business process modeling and presents an associated methodology and architecture
