Abstract
This article introduces a workflow centric collaboration system based on ontology, which is context-aware and adaptive. Using ontology to represent most collaboration elements and rules of the system, we introduce an ontology repository into the framework. It gives the system the capability to represent collaboration knowledge smoothly. The system focuses on business workflow transition and business data manipulation. It can be easily extended and upgraded by modifying the ontology repository when the requirements change. Based on ontology, the system can also interact with other ontology based systems and applications.
