KMi Seminars
Towards Changing the Relationship between Business and IT via Semantic Web Services
This event took place on Wednesday 31 January 2007 at 11:30

 
Prof John Domingue KMi, The Open University

A number of new technologies are emerging which over the next 5-10 years will radically change the relationship between a business and its IT infrastructure. In this talk I will give an overview of the EU funded SUPER Integrated Project which aims to enable business experts to query and manage business processes which reside in IT systems without recourse to IT staff. To achieve this SUPER will combine semantic Web, Web service and business process modeling technologies. The SUPER project involves a consortium of 19 partners including SAP and a number of telecommunications companies and has now been running for 9 months.

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.
