This paper proposes a new knowledge-acquisition metatool, KRIACO, a Web-based, Knowledge Representation Independent, Adaptive, Customizable, Ontology-based Knowledge Acquisition Metatool, which aims to overcome sorts of shortcomings of current knowledge acquisition metatools. To achieve its goal, KRIACO will adopt OKBC as an underlying knowledge representation model to overcome the restriction caused by a specific knowledge representation system. It will use an ontology-driven tool specification approach to specify the domain and the task models; an interface ontology and a declarative interface model to drive the interface design and customization process; adaptive approach to provide flexible, adaptive user interfaces. This paper discusses these approaches in detail and presents the framework of KRIACO.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
