Online configuration for products in the distributed and dynamic computing environment motivates the demand for semantic based cooperation, which takes place in the supply chain under B2B situation. Traditional standalone knowledge model of configuration systems does not meet the new requirements. We propose a multi-ontology based solution. The core idea of this paper is to take the process knowledge of distributed systems into consideration, which supports the integration among distributed configuration systems. Furthermore, the process model provides possibility to optimize solutions for configuration problems. OWL is used as modeling language in order to utilize potential benefits of current Semantic Web technology.
