Abstract:
Enterprise knowledge management is about approaches, methods, and techniques, which will support the management of the resource “knowledge” in an enterprise for the purpose of support and advancement of businesses. An important part of it is knowledge development of individual and organizational knowledge. This paper provides an overall conception of enterprise knowledge management in the form of a layered set of ontologies, which are enriched by appropriate rule systems. This set consists of general (i.e. enterprise-independent) and of enterprise-specific ontologies. General ontologies in this set include ontologies for knowledge and knowledge development and for human interaction. Enterprise-specific ontologies formalize specific domains in the enterprise as well as managerial principles and finally a whole enterprise.
