Abstract:
Knowledge development in an enterprise is about approaches, methods, techniques and tools, that will support the advancement of individual and organizational knowledge for the purpose of an improvement of businesses. An approach for knowledge development in a company is described in this paper. This approach is based on a new conception of knowledge, with the introduction of three knowledge dimensions and conversions between knowledge assets. To guide a formalized implementation of this conception in the form of a knowledge ontology, we discuss principal ontology categories of things and adapt them to the domain of knowledge development and management. Thus, we can take advantage of reasoning and rules processing, provided by a reasoner in combination with a rule engine. Important scenarios for knowledge development in a company are identified and it is shown how these scenarios can be supported by processing the developed rules. For example, knowledge requirements for a new or existing employee can be gained once the appropriate requirements for a planned project are known as well as the learning options in the company.
