We have demonstrated with this formal
representation we can use ontologies to share
information between different domains where
diversely same information is used to describe
systems performance in form of simple data
instances or likewise describe management
operations in the form of events used to control
virtual infrastructures.
The approach presented in this paper emerges as
study looking forward alternatives to solve part of
the sharing information complex problem. Particular
focus has been described into cloud environments as
cloud computing is one of the most hot areas not
only from a service composition and technology
deployment point of view else from a no less
important cloud service management perspective.
