Designing a Multi-view Commodity Ontology

In this paper, we develop the viewpoint that there exists commodity multi-view knowledge in the circulation of commodities. We analyze attribute domain under the multi-view circumstances and build a multi-view oriented cognition model of commodity knowledge. Based on this cognition model, this paper proposes the meta-model of multi-view commodity ontology by using competency questions, which is a standard technique in ontology engineering methodologies. This new commodity ontology is more suitable for the physical demand of e-commerce.
