Name Semantics Utilized for Process management within and between Enterprises (SUPER)

Aim

Semantic Web Technology, based on ontologies, lets us develop methodologies and tools to make knowledge comprehensible to machines. In particular Semantic Web Services make inter-operability of systems within corporations easier. 
At the same time Business Process Modelling is the natural evolution of the use of Semantic Web technology in its tendency towards flexible and scalable structures.
The main objective of the SUPER project is to combine Semantic Web Services with Business Process Modelling to consolidate technology in the telecommunications sector.

Estimated budget €15.000.000,00 (subsidy €11.000.000)
