Zusammenfassung:	The paper presents the Petri net ontology that enables sharing Petri nets on the Semantic Web. Previous work on formal methods for representing Petri nets mainly defines tool-specific descriptions or formats for model interchange. However, such efforts do not provide a suitable description for using Petri nets on the Semantic Web. This paper uses the Petri net UML model as a starting point for implementing the ontology. Resulting Petri net models are represented on the Semantic Web using XML-based ontology languages, RDF and OWL. We implemented a Petri net tool, P3, which can be used as a knowledge acquisition tool based on the Petri net ontology.
