Abstract

Knowledge management process is a set of procedures and tools applied to facilitate capturing, sharing and effectively using knowledge. However, knowledge collected from organizations is generally expressed in various formalisms, therefore it is heterogeneous. Thus, a Knowledge Warehouse (KW), which is a solution for implementing all phases of the knowledge management process, should solve this structural heterogeneity before loading and storing knowledge. In this paper, we are interested in knowledge normalization. More accurately, we firstly introduce our proposed architecture for a KW, and then we present the MOT (Modeling with Object Types) language for knowledge representation. Since our objective is to transform heterogeneous knowledge into MOT, as a pivot model, we suggest a meta-model for the MOT and another for the explicit knowledge extracted through the association rules technique. Thereafter, we define eight transformation rules and an algorithm to transform an association rules model into the MOT model.
