Business Knowledge Logistics: Ksnet-approach and Its Implementation

E-Business requires cooperation and open standard-based information/knowledge exchange between all the participants of global business information environment (e-Business environment) in real-time. As a result a new scientific direction of knowledge logistics has emerged. The paper describes a developed KSNet-approach addressing the knowledge logistics problem. An ontology-driven methodology for knowledge sharing and reuse suggested by the approach is described first. Then, a system “KSNet” implemented as a prototype of this approach and its multiagent architecture and web-based implementation are discussed. At the end of the paper an application of the approach to a case study inspired by a coalition-based Binni scenario is presented.
