Abstract: Partner selection is an important and complex decision problem for Virtual Enterprises (VEs). In this paper, we present goal ontology for partner selection of VE, which is an important base of tenderee decision support system (DSS), and provides self-contained computing theory and problem solving meta-model to manage and analyze VE goal. The paper focuses on the concept, properties and constraints of goal ontology, decomposition relationship and redundancy of goal system, changeability and consistency of constraints.

Key words: virtual enterprise, goal ontology, partner selection, enterprise decision
