Enterprise Interoperability is a requirement for ensuring an effective collaboration within a network of enterprises. Therefore, interoperability should be continuously assessed and improved for avoiding collaboration issues. To do so, an interoperability assessment can be performed by the concerned enterprises. Such an assessment provides an overview of the enterprise systems’ strengths and weaknesses regarding interoperability. A plethora of assessment approaches are proposed in the literature. The majority of them focus on one single aspect of interoperability. In general, to have a holistic view of the assessed systems, i.e. consider different aspects, enterprises have to apply different approaches. However, the application of multiple approaches may cause redundancy and confusion when assessing the same system using different metrics and viewpoints. Therefore, this article is to propose an ontology for interoperability assessment. The main objective of such an ontology is to provide a sound description of all relevant concepts and relationships regarding an interoperability assessment. Inference rules are also provided for reasoning on interoperability problems. A case study based on a real enterprise in presented to evaluate the proposed ontology.

企业互操作性是确保企业网络内有效协作的要求。因此，应不断评估和改进互操作性，以避免出现协作问题。为此，相关企业可以进行互操作性评估。这样的评估概述了企业系统在互操作性方面的优缺点。文献中提出了许多评估方法。他们中的大多数集中在互操作性的一个方面。通常，要对评估系统有一个整体的看法，即考虑不同的方面，企业必须采用不同的方法。然而，当使用不同的度量和观点评估同一系统时，多种方法的应用可能会导致冗余和混乱。因此，本文旨在提出一种用于互操作性评估的本体。这种本体的主要目的是提供有关互操作性评估的所有相关概念和关系的合理描述。还提供了推理规则以对互操作性问题进行推理。提出了一个基于真实企业的案例研究，以评估提出的本体。还提供了推理规则以对互操作性问题进行推理。提出了一个基于实际企业的案例研究，以评估提出的本体。还提供了推理规则以对互操作性问题进行推理。提出了一个基于实际企业的案例研究，以评估提出的本体。
