Abstract

This paper presents a business ontology model for semantic annotation of Web services which consists of a core ontology and two categories of taxonomic trees: Business Service Description trees and Business Product Description trees. The Business Service Description trees contain generic business concepts, and the Business Product Description trees contain domain specific concepts. A business ontology for the Romanian language in the domain of traceability has been built according to this model in the framework of the Food-Trace project. The domain concepts of this ontology are organized into a domain taxonomy which is automatically built out of textual descriptions from Web sites of Romanian meat industry companies.
