Abstract

Customs is considered a very complex business domain in terms of concepts, processes and rules. The complexity is increased because a number of actors are involved in various activities such as National Administrations and Economic Operators. All these should share a common understanding about various concepts. The paper presents a research work which examines the use of ontological engineering as a tool to represent and share various terms and knowledge in the area of Customs. The developed ontology is expressed in OWL syntax. Some illustrative examples are provided demonstrating how the complex relationships between various Customs concepts could be modelled.
