Abstract

This chapter focuses on knowledge management for complex application domains using Collaborative Multi-Expert-Systems. We explain how different knowledge sources can be described and organized in order to be used in collaborative knowledge-based systems. We present the docQuery system and the application domain travel medicine to exemplify the knowledge modularization and how the distributed knowledge sources can be dynamically accessed and finally reassembled. Further on we present a set of properties for the classification of knowledge sources and in which way these properties can be assessed.
