Abstract

The literature on Supply Chain Management (SCM) supports the integration of key business processes, including the performance management process, in order to increase the performance within and between the organisations. Nevertheless, the lack of proper shared performance metrics, frameworks and technology in order to design, implement and manage Performance Measurement Systems (PMSs), have been identified as problems for achieving integration. Semantics-based technologies, especially ontologies, have been suggested to address such problems. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how ontologies may be used to raise interoperability and shared understanding in inter-organisational PMSs from syntactic to semantic level by introducing the concept of Semantic PMS. We also suggest future research issues for approaching collaborative performance management problems.
