Using AI in Knowledge Management: Knowledge Bases and Ontologies

Knowledge Maintenance and the Frame Problem

Knowledge maintenance is a major challenge for both knowledge management and the Semantic Web. Operating over the Semantic Web, there will be a network of collaborating agents, each with their own ontologies or knowledge bases. Change in the knowledge state of one agent may need to be propagated across a number of agents and their associated ontologies. The challenge is to decide how to propaga...

The Role of Common Ontology in Achieving Sharable, Reusable Knowledge Bases

Although AI research and commercial system development depend on bodies of formally represented knowledge that are expensive and diicult to construct, current knowledge base design does not support the accumulation or reuse of such knowledge. This paper presents a strategy for building libraries of sharable, reusable knowledge in which common ontologies play a central role as a knowledge coupli...

Ontologies, Knowledge Bases and Knowledge Management

Applied ontologies in the knowledge management of construction processes

Technological knowledge integration is time consuming, and requires intensive negotiation, and flows aiming at to achieve the design and planning performance in the construction projects. The traditional taxonomic approach of project management through the task decomposition could be usefully extended through an ontological approach to the task description. The ontological analysis allows to pr...

Design and Development of Ontology Suite for Software Risk Planning, Software Risk Tracking and Software Risk Control

Problem statement: Ontology as a conceptual courseware structure may work as a mind tool for effective teaching and as a visual navigation interface to the learning objects. Knowledge visualization is defined as the use of visual representations to transfer knowledge between at least two persons. This study presents the design, development and visualization of ontologies for Software Risk Plann...
