An Ontological Approach for Dynamic Cross-Enterprise Collaboration
Cross-enterprise collaboration is one of challenges on the business-to-business integration (B2Bi) research nowadays. With the support of Semantic Web technologies, the gap between business and IT communities has been reduced in order to tackle the mentioned challenge. Semantic Web-based approaches for BPM have been a promising solution with taking advantages of Semantic Web technologies such as ontologies, semantic web services. In this paper, we propose a new approach called Ontological Hierarchical Task Network (O-HTN) based on HTN Planning and Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO) for forming collaborative business processes dynamically for the cross-enterprise collaboration.
