N1 - Funding Information: This work documents results from two projects: The research has received funding from the EU KDT Joint Undertaking under grant agreement n° 101007312 (project Semantically Connected Semiconductor Supply Chains - SC3) and by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy of Germany in the project Cognitive Economy Intelligence Plattform für die Resilienz wirtschaftlicher Ökosysteme - CoyPu (project number 01MK21007[A-L]). Funding Information: It is precisely in this regard that we are working in the Semantically Connected Semiconductor Supply Chains ?SC3) communication and support action that is funded by the European Commission on a communication framework as a solution to this challenge. The main use case of the SC3 project concerns the creation of a unique framework for communication in semiconductor supply chains. The potential for miscommunication is very high in this environment. The SC3 project is therefore working on a lingua franca ?DR, the digital reference ontology) to promote semantic interoperability between semiconductor companies and other industries. To support the collaborative work challenge of domain experts and knowledge engineer, in this project we are working on a portal for validation, visualization, mapping, and customization of DR-compliant developments. This environment is a web-based portal that enables visual translation of the ontology content between different visualization types and serves as an intuitive means to bridge the gap between different levels of knowledge and experience of involved domain experts and knowledge engineers. Within this platform, we distinguish three types of users. The Expert User is a knowledge engineer who knows how to build ontology based on the project requirements, but does not have knowledge in a particular domain. The Advanced User, on the other hand, has some knowledge in ontology developing implementation, but not enough to make full of usage expert systems tools such as Protégé. The Novice User, on the other hand, has no knowledge of how to use Semantic Web standards and tools for ontology development.

N2 - Supply chains are vulnerable and inherently complex processes. In-creasing the resilience of supply chains is realised, if the stakeholders involved have agreed on a clear language. Only this enables a comprehensive, unambiguous and fast exchange of information. Ontologies serve as a powerful formal tool to realize an appropriate communication framework. They are designed to make communication and information exchange between stakeholders and machines unambiguous and thus efficient. This paper addresses the challenges and solutions associated with the fact that ontologies need to reflect agreed definitions of a domain, as we face them in the SC3 and CoyPu projects.
