We have a small ontology for a manufacturing supply process for
"just-in-time" inventory replenishment commonly called "e-Kanban". The
ontology describes the relevant business entities. The ontology is in
OWL, but the presentation form is UML class diagrams, showing only
classes, subsumptions (aka "generalizations") and properties (aka
"associations"). In the Automotive Industry Action Group, we found this
effective in getting a community of domain experts, business analysts,
and "application experts" to agree on the business concepts involved in
a pilot project. I attach the version that was last used to walk
through the model with the AIAG business community (less some irrelevant
slides). A few of the slides describe common business concepts that you
might find to be useful examples. The model is the property of the
AIAG, but it is publicly available. (03)
The formal published model is only a bit different (for ATHENA project
reasons). See: http://www.nist.gov/msidlibrary/doc/NISTIR_7404.pdf (04)
