Ontologies have proven to be excellent tools in the modelling, capture and implementation of the so-called organizational memories within the Knowledge Management domain. In this paper, an ontology-based existing framework for cooperative and consensual knowledge construction is analyzed. In this framework, ontologies are used for the implementation and development of a corporate memory through ontology integration as the basis for knowledge construction. Moreover, collaborative agents participating in the knowledge construction process will perform the integration mechanism by request, and can benefit from the use of individual, personalized (ontological) knowledge. Certain limitations of this approach are pointed out, particularly in relation to the mechanisms for knowledge integration and personalization. Further extension of the framework is also addressed.
