Abstract

The paper promotes a methodology and application model for extending traditional, data-centric Enterprise Resource Planning Systems with semantics-oriented data models, in order to enrich interaction and reporting capabilities. The proposal includes a method of automating data semantization using a mix of semantic modeling and formal concept analysis, and an extended ERP architecture which integrates legacy systems in a Semantic Web wrapper system, providing new dimensions to traditional interaction and reports in a business environment, with specific examples regarding human resources management.
