This report describes the progress that has been achieved during the second year (full time equivalent 1 July 2006 - 1 July 2008) of our Ph.D. research. All the work has been built upon the achievements of the first year and confirmed that the original research objectives were correctly identified at the beginning of the research. We have successfully participated in the Ontology Mapping Evaluation Initiative 2006 and 2007 (2008 ongoing activity), which provided a qualitative comparison of our and other ontology mapping systems. Further it created a possibility to identify our future research work that needs to be carried out in order to achieve our original research objectives that were set out in the formal Ph.D. research proposal. The organization of this report corresponds to original research proposal. The last section describes the thesis outline.

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.
