An ontology based digital preservation system for enterprise collaboration

The structures of product design, process development, manufacturing, sales, product utilization, after sale service and product retirement are becoming more and more complex due to the underlying reasons of newly introduced rules as well as constraints of the respective stakeholders. On the other hand, these complexities are also appending up the organizational assets. The configuration of the state of art and introduction of an architecture which can convert this organizational asset into an action such as "to introduce an added value" in the product life cycle is an interesting but challenging task. We in this study have discussed the issues related to enterprise collaboration for the purpose of assessment of an enterprise's capability. Moreover, we have also proposed the solution for how we can utilize the structural knowledge of ontological modeling to address this issue along with the emerging technological advances. It's flexible as well as useful to utilize the state of the art digital preservation model to store, reuse and access the ontologies.
