Building ontology repositories for e-commerce systems

This paper describes a new method to integrate and implement e-commerce systems in distributed computing environments, especially the Internet. In this paper, we propose a core part of ontology repositories for e-commerce systems, illustrate the organisational topology of the repositories, and demonstrate how to use XML standards to build the repositories. After all these repositories are distributed on the Internet, the ubiquitous integration platform can be formed so that all the e..commerce systems can interact each other seamlessly.
