Ontologies for Knowledge Management
In: Handbook on Ontologies. Edited by S. Staab and R. Studer. Springer.
Abstract
Since the term \emph{ontologies} in AI was coined within the \emph{Knowledge Sharing and Reuse Effort} for engineering of knowledge--based systems, it is not surprising that it heavily entered Knowledge Management research: \emph{Sharing} and \emph{reuse} --- in this case of organizational knowledge --- are among the core knowledge processes tackled within every KM endeavor.
In this chapter we briefly introduce the basic requirements of KM and the principle role of information technology for KM. We then discuss the potential of ontologies as main elements in KM--IT. A description of some example systems illustrates the ontology--based approach to KM. A brief ummary and discussion completes the chapter.
