Abstract
The paper presents a platform for maintenance of short-time and project-oriented business alliances. The focus is given on the semantic interoperability of services provided and consumed by alliance partners during the process of business collaboration. The structure and content of supporting ontologies is presented as a knowledge representation basis for semantic description of abstract business process models. Implemented platform components such as messaging and communication infrastructure, semantic process and service management, identity management, security infrastructure and web portal interface are described on both a conceptual and technological level. The approach is demonstrated on pilot applications that were accomplished during the first trial of the project.
