“…It specifically aims for the development of supporting applications with the ability to automatically, meaningfully, and accurately interpret the information exchanged, producing useful results. Ontologies allow information exchange approaching this kind of interoperability (Obrst 2003): the cases of E-learning (Busse 2005), electronic commerce (Obrst et al 2002), or geographic information systems (Fonseca et al 2006) are well-documented examples of the success of this kind of interoperability.…”

Virtual engineering applications (VEA) are used through the whole product life cycle (PLC) process; their complexity and pervasiveness make them an ideal scenario for development and testing of software engineering innovations. More precisely, VEAs have problems when they need to share their specific knowledge. They suffer semantic loss situations, and they hardly use any semantic tools. This work proposes a new approach to solving these kinds of problems based on semantic technologies, allowing the seamless sharing of information and knowledge between VEAs involved in a PLC scenario. This approach is validated through a plant layout design application, where several VEA can cooperate and share their knowledge, accomplishing the design task.

Organisations are increasingly transforming themselves to remain profitable and obtain sustainable competitive advantages. Business processes are as important as technology in promoting organisational transformation. Organisational transformation ultimately entails combining existing business components, whether or not with the same use and design, with new ones to generate novel products and services. For example, one particular type of organisation transformation is digital transformation. This notion, which covers even the subjective aspects of organisational transformation, is currently under intensive discussion and suffers from the semantics terms fluctuation related to the notion of ‘organisational transformation’. We argue that this topic could strongly benefit from an ontological analysis and conceptual clarification of these notions. This paper contributes with an attempt in this direction by proposing a Core Ontology of Organisational Transformation (COOT). This ontology comprises concepts and relations central to creating a reference model representing the organisational transformation paradigm. COOT was applied in a real-world case study on a car rental company.

Technologies are being incorporated continuously into day-to-day life, introducing new shapes for all businesses. Nevertheless, it is interesting to notice that most novelty is based mainly on processes, rather than on technology. Although the literature seems to agree the digital transformation and innovation (DT&I) and business process management (BPM) connection is almost mandatory, there is not a clear and precise conceptualization of the relationship of these two domains. Therefore, the authors argue that a conceptual model is needed to organize the knowledge raised on these subjects structurally. This article presents an ontology to provide a formal and explicit specification as a common understanding basis of this topic. This research contributes to leveraging the BPM in the digital age, exploring their relationship, investigating to what extent the BPM characteristics initiatives affect—and are affected by—DT&I. The authors evaluated the proposal using a public domain business case to confirm the model requirements and assess whether it adequately addresses the research problem.
