Abstract

This paper proposes the semantic solution for data exchange in dynamically changing supply networks. Because of the dynamic nature of supply networks, there is a necessity to manage their efficiency. The first step in this direction is proper data exchange, which leads to transparency of networks and speeds up interactions of their participants. Despite plenty of data standards, there is a lack of approaches to data modeling allowed the seamless knowledge sharing within supply networks. This paper introduces a new ontology-based data metamodel of supply networks based on organizational ontology, consistent theory for data modeling, and the ontologized standard in logistics domain. At the first part of the paper, selected approaches to data modeling are explained and justified. Then, basic information patterns applicable for modeling of supply networks are explained. Finally, we elaborate how the proposed ontological framework facilitates knowledge integration in logistics.
