Аннотация:Recently, ontologies are seen as an underlying technology for information modeling and knowledge management. They play increasingly important role for annotation of product and service offer-ings on the Web and look promising for creation of intelligent catalogues. A structure of such catalogues may be suffered to permanent changes due to technology innovations and high conceptual dynamics. It induces se-rious problems of data and change management within the deployed catalogues. In the paper a comparative analysis of popular ontology models, languages, and formalisms is conducted in the context of numerous re-quirements to the intelligent catalogues of building elements. A new ontology model is proposed and formally specified to satisfy the imposed requirements. The presented work is done in the frames of the EU project ISES (grant agreement 288819).
