Ontology-based Skills Management

摘要

During the last years more and more companies have realized that knowing their employees competencies is an essential factor in order to stay competitive within the market. A knowledge management system based on ontologies can help a company to build up and manage skill profiles of its employees. For this reason a joint research project currently develops a suite consisting of a process model, knowledge base and a software application. This paper briefly lays out the results of the ongoing research project KOWIEN at the University of Duisburg-Essen. We will especially introduce the KOWIEN Process Model, the KOWIEN Ontologies and the KOWIEN Prototype.
