Abastract： Nowadays, Ontology Engineering is a necessary means to capture the agreements from a group of domain experts and enhance the interoperability amongst software agents. There is a nature link between ontology and business rules seeing that critical decisions are often made by a group of decision makers in stead of an individual. Decision tables, as a knowledge representation tool, have many outstanding advantages for the business domain. The concept of Semantic Decision Table (SDT) was proposed to formalize semantics using modern Ontology Engineering (OE) technologies. SDT and its supporting tool set has been used and tested in several international and national projects in the fields of eLearning/training, ontology-based data matching, crisis management, and smart environment/ ubiquitous computing.
