The paper examines the possibilities of using a semantic approach, namely an ontological representation of information used in computer models designed to carry out research. The proposed methodological approach for assessing the cross-industry component of the coefficients of price elasticity of demand for electricity involves the use of a group of computer models developed by different specialists, each of which solves one or more specific problems. The use of semantic technologies in solving a given problem ensures the coordination of concepts, the integration of models and applications, as well as the structuring of knowledge and information. A semantic analysis of information flows between models was performed. Examples of developed graphic ontologies are given. Semantic technologies expand the possibilities of structuring information, exchanging data between processes, applications, specialists, and obtaining new knowledge.
