Felipe Fernandes de Oliveira, Julio C. P. Antunes, Renata S. S. Guizzardi · 2007
Collaboration is a complex and essential process for organizations. Ontologies can provide a way to promote software tool integration, by serving as a common conceptualization among these tools. This integration may ultimately lead to lower costs and improved flexibility and revenue in business. This paper presents a collaboration ontology based on the structure defined by the 3C Model and shows how it can be used to promote integration among collaborative software tools.
