Mission
The purpose of the Knowledge Management (KM WG) is to expand and promote the application, education and theory of knowledge management (in the form of all possible knowledge representation schemas, including Ontology) for Systems Engineering as a means to reduce or eliminate existing barriers in the SE practice.
Scope
Activities relating to best practices for Knowledge Management:
- Application of the knowledge management process activities to concrete implementations in industry.
- Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS)
- Ontologies Definition, Construction and Representation
- Models and knowledge information Indexing and Retrieval
- Knowledge Comparison, Visualization, Access and Trace
- Ontologies Management and Evolution
- Ontologies Verification and Validation
Goals
We propose the application of knowledge management (using ontology and other knowledge representation structures) as a driver within systems engineering practice to enable processes, methods and tools harmonization. More specifically, the intention of this working group is to create outcomes that enable the harmonization and interoperability of initiatives, processes or activities and to remove or overcome existing barriers (computational, social, linguistic, etc.) among them.
