Manufacturing eco-systems aim to connect data and services between factories, suppliers and customers. Most of them are built as agent-based eco-systems which act as web-based operating systems for business connections between enterprises. The connection of supply and demand entities participating in an eco-system by exploiting knowledge and data from the business entities has become imperative for them, in order to adapt to the dynamically changing market requirements. This paper introduces a web-based semantic ontological framework designed for collaborative agent-based manufacturing eco-systems. The proposed framework and its core components enable the information modeling of the manufacturing services and the supply chain concepts. A Collaborative Manufacturing Services Ontology able to describe both manufacturing domain and e-commerce domain is offered alongside with an Application Programming Interface for the effortless manipulation of the ontological resources. Furthermore, a Rule-based Matchmaking engine able to match requesters with possible suppliers, and to evaluate offers from suppliers based on different requesters’ criteria and preferences is provided.
