Enabling applications interoperability to facilitate the truly and seamless exchange of business process models within enterprises applications or between networked enterprises is referred to as enterprise integration. In this discipline of enterprise integration there is a growing need to setup pivotal languages expressing the enterprise models knowledge to be exchanged. However, knowledge implies the semantic representation of concepts. Thus, ontology, being a mean to formalise semantics of concepts, could serve as the technology for specifying such knowledge in completing the enterprise business models with the required semantics. This paper outlines what an enterprise ontology will bring to the enterprise integration problem.
