Abstract
This paper identifies how ontology models can be vigorously used to define semantics and relationships in representing objects/modules for e-learning, business modeling support and manufacturing processing details. Further extraction of these relations by intelligent decision-support systems using data mining as a tool is discussed. The paper envisages the possibility of establishing a common solution platform for product development and customization leading to increased profitability and better resource utilization. It showcases ways to link these different ontological models leading to cross platform compatibility. It also tries to explore manufacturer-customer relationship and using them to provide quality analysis methods for further improvement in the product processing model.
