Knowledge and information flow within supply chain has gained more and more significance. A timely and accurate information exchange among the actors of the supply chain prevents unnecessary loss due to failed planning and missed forecasting. The method of collaborative supply chain management should reduce uncertainties in supply chain. Nevertheless, because of its complexity, its implementation has not been fully optimized. Knowledge and information flows within the supply chain has been unattended. To achieve transparency and trust among partners in the supply chain, a new approach, which allows the visualization of these knowledge and information flows and their participants, is required. Knowledge Modeling and Description Language (KMDL) offers a means to meet this requirement.
