In order to achieve seamless inter-enterprise business collaboration, this paper presented an ontology-based inter-enterprise business collaboration method and studied the key technologies involved, that is, ontology modeling, ontology mapping, and semantic interoperability. In this method, XML file documents were utilized to describe the inter-enterprise business collaboration information, thus shielding the heterogeneity in syntactic and structural level. Meanwhile, enterprise local ontologies for business collaboration were built to shield the heterogeneity in semantic level. To achieve inter-enterprise semantic-based interoperability, ontology mapping mechanism was established based on similarity measuring. Based on the proposed method, a prototype was implemented aiming to provide a more efficient overall solution plan for business collaboration oriented heterogenous system integration.
