OWL-Based Knowledge Representation Approach in KMS

摘要

With the emergence of the knowledge economy, more and more organizations take effort to implement their knowledge management strategy in order to improve effectiveness of their activities. Apparently, Web-based knowledge representation schema is necessary for organizational knowledge management systems (KMS). Related works on Web-based knowledge representation schema have shown limited expressiveness and reasoning power. Based on formalizing OWL, this paper proposes to present organizational knowledge in terms of OWL - Web Ontology Language enabling to represent all types of organizational knowledge: factual, terminological, inferential, and regulated one, with sufficient expressiveness and reasoning power. A case study from a prototype of KMS in meteorological bureau for detecting and alerting of abnormal weather is given which can be applied to both e-government and e-business.
