Abstract
The chapter presents a competency based system, developed for an IT project-oriented organization, during the implementation of a conventional Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) system. The proposed solution is an ontology-based extension of the Human Resources module. Two competence ontologies, one for each relevant profession in the organization are parts of the ontological extension. Even if the proposed solution is based on a loose coupling between the knowledge base and the ERP system, it provides added value for ERP systems, expanding their ability to support all levels of management decision, but especially the executive ones. It is a practical and inexpensive approach for integration the semantic or knowledge oriented applications with the data-oriented or legacy systems.
