Ontological Supply Chain Management: Concepts, Applications, Extensions

SCOM: Multi-Layer Ontological Model for Supply Chain Systems© aims to create a model for tracking and tracing products, agents, flows and operations of a supply chain with an upper ontology.
It will hopefully let us to track or trace most properties in not-usual supply chains such as interstellar supply chains (eg. raw materials from the planet Mars), health-related supply chains (eg. blood products), food management (eg. genetic structures of agricultural products), environmental issues of production systems (eg. nuclear power usage in a production process) and protection of art and artistic materials (eg. tracing an artifact).

3. INTRODUCTION
   Ontology
   In computer science and information science, an ontology formally represents knowledge as a set of
   concepts within a domain, using a shared vocabulary to denote the types, properties and
   interrelationships of those concepts.
   The creation of domain ontologies is also fundamental to the definition and use of an enterprise
   architecture framework.
