ABSTRACT
This chapter proposes a solution for sharing knowledge with the semantic web. The solution involves (i) a semi-structured knowledge model to represent knowledge in not only an explicit and sharable, but also a meaningful format, (ii) an agent-based annotation process to resolve issues associated with the heterogeneity of knowledge documents, and (iii) an articulation mechanism to improve the effectiveness of interoperability between two heterogeneous ontologies. Based on the proposed solution, entities in a supply chain can represent, seek and share knowledge effectively.
