Ontologies play a key role in semanticinteroperability projects, capturing the conceptualizationunderlying the various systems to be integrated. In the case oflarge information systems landscapes, a single monolithicontology often becomes hard to design and maintain. In thissetting, it is common to divide the ontological model inconsistently interlinked modular ontologies, forming anontology network...
This paper gives a brief overview of the International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for the Enterprise (VORTE) held at EDOC 2017. The paper introduces the workshop series' research topics and presents this year's program
Today, processing integrated information within and between enterprises is increasingly becoming more and more critical, and so is the implementation and evaluation of an Enterprise Architecture (EA). The review of literature on EA evaluation shows several issues. However, the evaluation of EAs has not attracted sufficient attention, and thus, this research area has not been explored thoroughly yet...
For enterprises, it is important to know how the IT infrastructure contributes to the business goals set. The COBIT IT governance framework provides a high-level view how this can be achieved. However, COBIT provides no machine-readable model that allows to refer to entities (processes, goals, actions, metrics etc.). In this paper, we present an approach to create a formal model for COBIT using an...
In Adaptive Case Management (ACM) systems, knowledge workers have the flexibility to deal with unpredictable situations. Compared with a classical BPM approach the extensive prescriptive process analysis and definitions are replaced by context-sensitive proposals, which is more suited for knowledge-intensive work. Thus, it is vital that ACM systems support knowledge workers with knowledge captured...
One of the main weaknesses of the concept of alignment between business and information technology (IT) process and functions in enterprises is that it is abstract, difficult to actualize and harder to sustain. The misalignment between business and IT can be attributed to many factors. Two key factors that stand out are the knowledge and cultural gaps between these functions and the perception that...
The paper provides a message of the chairs of the 6th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for The Enterprise (VORTE 2011) held at 15th EDOC International EDOC Conference.
The aim of this work is to present audience with a motivation for research aimed at introducing a new approach towards a Web service description. The description is referenced mainly at Service Oriented Architecture oriented enterprises, as they are the most plausible candidates for its employment. Nevertheless, one might perceive it as a proposition of changes that could have wider reception. The...
With the advent of Web 2.0, as web service composition gets easier, there is a trend towards nonexpert users not just consuming information and services, but also providing, aggregating, composing and eventually managing their own information, services and resources. However non-expert users need to manage their composed services in a way they can understand. Policy-based management promises the ability...
Semantic Web services have been employed in a wide range of applications and have become a key technology in developing business operations on the Web. However, heterogeneity is a major problem of the current semantic Web service technologies. In particular, semantic Web services described by different description languages cannot work together. For example, a Web service described by OWL-S cannot...
This paper gives a brief overview of the international workshop on vocabularies, ontologies and rules in the enterprise held at the EDOC 2009 conference. The paper discusses the scope and key topics of the workshop, reflects on the program of the workshop, including, the keynote and papers accepted for presentation.
This paper has proposed a method which implements the web service dynamic composition based on an annotated ontology. The capability parameters of the registered web services are used to annotate the domain ontology, when a request comes, only the related web service according to the annotated ontology will be matched or be composed. With the method, the efficiency can be improved significantly when...
How to precisely and meaningfully represent service capability and what is really detectable best service in available service space are two inescapable issues we must take into account when exploring dynamic selection of the best service. In this paper, Web Service Community (WSC) is proposed as a promising computational infrastructure in which web service is described in the way of concordant combination...
Effectively choosing the WorkShop Management Systems (WSMS) to manage the plan execution and product manufacturing of workshop has become the problems which the decision-makers of enterprise have to face. But when integrating with other system, most of WSMS are indicative of the phenomenon of their instability, discontinuity and the difficulty of information exchange. By means of the characteristics...
Context awareness is used to design innovative user interfaces to implement precise routing planning and optimal job scheduling and accurate control of the environment in workshop. The purpose of this work is to propose a context-aware Manufacturing Execution System (MES) with background of dynamic and complex production process in workshop. The context-aware architecture as a backbone of MES, with...
Manufacturing Execution System (MES) links plan management and workshop control in an enterprise, which is an integrative management and control system of workshop production oriented to manufacturing process. MES ontology is a formal specification of conceptualization in MES domain, which plays an important role in the process of development and application of MES. In this paper the MES model of...
