Abstract

Research in the field of knowledge representation system is usually focused on methods for providing high-level descriptions of the world that can be effectively used to build intelligent applications. This paper shares the development process of ontology which involves preparing questionnaires, design decisions, and interviewing key persons. This is an ongoing work resulting in the development of ontology for knowledge management in an enterprise. The final result is a knowledge ontology, coined as Know-Ont, is a collection of concepts and their related properties from maintenance and new product design domain that fit together to process and store knowledge thus making it available for later reuse.

This work was supported by the GRRC program of Gyeonggi province. [GRRC Suwon2009- A2, Research on knowledge-based context-aware information system].
