Abstract:
E-tendering is widely used in corporate and government purchasing in e-business practice. Existing e-tendering platforms cannot solve semantic interoperability problems between heterogeneous e-tendering systems. This paper proposes a novel semantic-enriched e-tendering (SEET) approach, which enables heterogeneous e-tendering systems to be semantically connected and interoperable by applying collaborative conceptualization theory. Based on this approach, a SEET platform is implemented and guarantees that e-tender inviters and e-tender bidders can exchange their e-tendering documents in a semantically consistent manner.
