The logistic processes integrate various interdependent elements such as Vessel, Human resources, Vehicle etc. These elements inherently represent the actors, resources, and activities of a characterised process. A large variety of elements need to be managed to improve a logistics process. In this context, we propose the use of optimization methods. We develop a software framework that use the concepts of logistics and optimization to identify and specify the type of logistics problem and propose the optimal methods for their solution. The ontology definition may help to better understand the terminologies that may assist a logistic expert to specify his problem (using the logistics terms). In this paper, we present a reasoning system, based on logistics ontology. The objective of this work has been to build the shared concepts of logistics and optimization to better specify the logistic processes. Which may further lead to identify the type of logistics problem and propose list of respective solution methods. Moreover, it may also propose the web-services (that implements the corresponding solution method) to execute the evaluated logistic data. In the current work, we consider the Container Terminal Problems for the pragmatic validation of our proposed approach.
