Abstract
This paper will discuss the necessity for standardizing semantics beyond simply standardizing syntactic and structural (XML) vocabularies in the area of E- commerce. We will present an ontology-based approach to handle semantics which enables application developers to raise the level of abstraction from error- prone syntactic manipulations to a conceptual level. This approach has been im plemented in the B 3 set of tools that is able to integrate conceptual knowledge modeled in ontologies and factual knowledge originating from business applica tions and transactions
