Abstract

Companies have multiple business process, some of which are supported by knowledge described via ontologies. However, due to their nature, the processes use different knowledge notation what causes a problem of integrating such fragmented heterogeneous knowledge. The paper investigates the problem of developing a single multi-domain ontology for integrating company knowledge taking into account differences between terminologies and formalisms used in various business processes. Different options of designing ontologies covering multiple domains are considered. Three of them: (i) ontology localization/multilingual ontologies, (ii) granular ontologies, and (iii) ontologies with temporal logics are considered in details and analyzed.
