Definition
The eProcurement Ontology (ePO) is the formal, semantic foundation for the creation and reuse of linked open data in the domain of public procurement in the EU.
Motivation
The Publication Office of the EU is leading the eProcurement Ontology project to help interoperability between eProcurement systems in Europe. The Ontology project describes all possible eProcurement data elements and their relationships, thus facilitating data exchange.
The ontology is broader than eForms, covering also the ESPD (European Single Procurement Document), eInvoicing as well as detailed information from eSubmission, eEvaluation and eOrdering. Consequently, in end-to-end procurement systems, the eProcurement Ontology is an ideal reference for ensuring coherent relationship between data in all phases.
Scope
It is planned that the Ontology will cover end-to-end, i.e. from notification, through tendering to awarding, ordering, invoicing and payment. With this goal in mind the Publications Office of the European Union engaged a Working Group (WG) of experts with the mission of building consensus on the analysis results and deliverables developed by the OP’s teams.
Approach
Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) notices are published as XML data since 2014. In order to enhance access and usability of this data the approach involves transforming data into RDF format, conforming to the structure of eProcurement Ontology.
