Abstract:

Structured communication between trading partners is crucial in everyday business life. A lot of solutions of this problem exist, allowing application to application (A2A), human to application (H2A) and human to human (H2H) communication. Such formalized exchange of information is, in most cases, based on the XML language structures, standardized by different organizations e.g. OASIS, RosettaNet. However, the content of these structures should also be recognized properly, thus it has to originate from specific ontology. Unfortunately, the lack of ontologies dedicated for various business activities often impedes creation of efficient trading communication. Idea of the e-Collaboration platform, which combines various innovative technologies, allowing business processes description and ontology-based exchange of information, is presented in this paper. The proposed solution is dedicated to companies trading in Metal Forming branch and to academic entities interested in metallurgical sciences. The example of such trading activities, based on material tests performance and determination of material rheological properties, is described in the following sections as well.
