From Ontologies to the Semantic Web: The Engineering of Knowledge
Abstract
In any context area, knowledge management requires a holistic view of knowledge from the single, individual user to a global community of practice. This paper suggests a methodology that supports the engineering of knowledge with this vision in mind. The approach uses ontologies to structure the information so that it is comprehensible to a single, individual user at the user’s level of understanding or “view”. Various types of ontologies are incorporated into a Semantic Web environment allowing larger communities of practice to use them as a unified whole. The methodology is demonstrated using a complex problem space — ballistic missile defense.
