Abstract
Business Intelligence systems tend more and more towards semantically rich functionalities. One of the main artefacts to create a semantic network is the ontology. There are many methods describing the procedure of creating ontology for information solutions. The article presents the approach to the conceptualisation of the financial knowledge for a Business Intelligence system. The content of the knowledge is focused on essential financial concepts and relationships related to the management of small and medium enterprises (SME). That includes the illustration of the process of conceptualization of the financial ontology, which can be implemented in the Business Intelligence system.
