Abstract
In the paper, we present the main elements of the KBS-AE (Knowledge-Based System - Acts of Explanation) oriented toward the knowledge generation about enterprise condition. This knowledge is represented by the relation \(R: \left\langle STRATEGY \right\rangle \rightarrow \left\langle ENTERPRISE\;CONDITION \right\rangle\). The strategy is expressed in terms of the competence system. The concept apparatus is expressed by enterprise ontology worked out by the author on the basis of Roman Ingarden’s theory of individual object. Procedures of information extraction and creation of acts of explanation are presented by means of the UML diagrams. Acts of explanation generate the knowledge about an enterprise concerning interpretation of competence potential assessment and competence gap assessment and also result trajectories.
