Abstract:
Ontologies are a key technology for enabling semantics-driven knowledge processing, and it is widely accepted that the next generation of knowledge management system will rely on conceptual models in the form of ontologies. Unfortunately, the development of real-world enterprise-wide ontology-based knowledge management systems is still in an early stage. The authors present an integrated enterprise knowledge management architecture developed within the Ontologging project dealing with several challenges related to applying ontologies in real-world environments. They focus on two important ontology management problem, namely supporting multiple ontologies and managing ontology evolution.
