This report was prepared in the context of the previous contract in order to create the right basis for the development of the e-procurement ontology.

As such, the following activities are in scope of this work:

• Identify the target audience and the key use cases for the e-procurement ontology;
• Document and analyse existing initiatives to discover overlaps and gaps, and  identify which ones to reuse and with which ones to align; and
• Identify reference data and code lists that can be referenced to by the e-procurement onto
