The development of web applications for the cataloguing of industrial products is an important process for logistic services and on-line sales on a global level. The need to develop intelligent settings based on the use of semantics when creating new products is the fundamental base to improve significantly the conception times and the search for references. This article shows advances developed in the creation of ontology processes specific to the furniture industry with the aim of complimenting a forgotten aspect within the manufacturing of furniture along with the search for referential paths in the web and under semantic criteria that will help companies in the sector to improve web competiveness. The research carried out through the SEMCONCEPT project with researchers from the Universitat Politécnica of Valencia and AIDIMA, Technological Institute for Furniture and Related products, has allowed for the establishing synergy between the ISO 10303-236 rules for the electronic cataloguing of diverse international products. The systematization and the standardization integrated in the information given by the manufacturers of furniture and related products will allow for the exchange between different agents in the value chain (suppliers, manufacturers, sales people) and serve as a reference in the search for designers and architects.
