A Semantic Web-Based Architecture for Analytical Tools
This event took place on Monday 21 February 2005 at 12:30

 
Denilson Sell

Denilson will present the results of his research work developed in KMi for the last year. This talk is also related to a paper submitted to a conference (IEEE CEC 05).

Despite the importance of analytical tools to organisations, they still lack the flexibility needed to solve the requests of decision makers. In this talk, we present how ontologies and semantic Web services were applied on the conception of an architecture for analytical tools. Our architecture provides a seamless integration of business semantics, data sources and services aiming to guide users in an interactive decision making process. In addition, we present OntoDSS, a prototype analytical tool based on this architecture that illustrates some of the functionalities that may be provided to decision makers within an application scenario

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.
