KMi Seminars
Ontological Engineering
This event took place on Monday 19 January 2004 at 13:00

Dr Aldo Gangemi

The development of precise, easily sharable domain ontologies and the analysis of existing ones are known time-consuming activities in ontological engineering. The talk will introduce some principles to design "core" ontologies that catch the basic commitments in a domain of interest. These principles can be combined into "ontology design patterns" in order to build an ontology from scratch, and to analyse or to integrate existing ones. A design pattern is illustrated that builds upon DOLCE foundational ontology and some extensions that help representing contexts and situations. Applications in several domains (biomedical, legal, services, fishery, etc.) are sketched.

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.
