Abstract: An ontology-based framework of B2B integration is presented in this paper. The backbone of the framework is a central Integration Intermediary, which provides common ontology modules for registered companies to reuse. Due to the reusing, the developing of a company-specific ontology is simplified and the similarity between different ontologies is improved. The mapping between different companies' ontologies is not direct. Mapping Service in the Intermediary acts as a mediator and some mapping relations can be deduced according to the semantic relations of concepts.
