Abstract

The problems of creating enterprise ontologies for Enterprise Engineering are addressed in this paper. The main purpose of the research is development of a system of industrial enterprise ontologies. First of all, some definitions and viewpoints on Enterprise Engineering are discussed. A brief overview of the most well-known foreign projects of enterprise ontological engineering is given. The bottom-up and top-down ontology design approach are considered. A set of ontologies for a typical industrial enterprise has been built, which ensures the coordination of various enterprises activities. The main classes and subclasses of the enterprise ontology are given.
