Abstract:
In this paper, we propose an OWL encoded ontology (OntoEDIFACT) to ontologize the United Nations/Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce and Transport (UN/EDIFACT) standard. Our ontology provides a lightweight representation that captures general concepts about basic components of the standard, and also provides extensibility for adding complex components in a hierarchical manner. Our approach separates the conceptualization from knowledge base (KB) integration. So, we start by the conception of the knowledge model and we finish by building the KB through instantiating the knowledge model from the last version of the standard. The knowledge base consists of a triple stores, publicly available through a SPARQL endpoint. We have developed some services for exploiting the KB and discussed some future applications.
