An ontology Framework For Semantic Business Process Management: A core challenge in Business Process Management is the continuous, bi-directional translation between a business requirements view on the process space of an enterprise and the actual process space of this enterprise, constituted by the multiplicity of IT systems, resources, and human labor. Semantic Business Process Management (SBPM) is a...; Tags: Operational planning, Business process automation, Strategy, Enterprise software, BPM, ontology, business process, Semantic Web, ERP, information technology; White papers 2006-11-16
Semi-Automatic Construction Of Topic Ontologies: This paper reviews two techniques for topic discovery in collections of text documents (Latent Semantic Indexing and K-Means clustering) and present how one integrated them into a system for semiautomatic topic ontology construction.

Ontologies for Supply Chain Simulation Modeling: Simulation might be an effective decision support tool in supply chain management. The review of supply chain simulation modeling methodologies revealed some issues one of which is the practicability of simulation in the supply chain environment. The supply chain environment is dynamic, information intensive, geographically dispersed, and heterogeneous. In order...; Tags: Supply chain management (SCM), supply chain, ontology, decision support, environment, SCM, modeling; White papers 2005-11-08
Addressing The Contract Issue, Standardisation For QoS: Higher level service support mechanisms are an integral part of the future vision for Web / Grid Services. This paper argues that the areas of discovery, differentiation, negotiation, monitoring and non-repudiation of agreements cannot be considered in isolation to each other. The areas outlined above are examined, primarily from a...; Tags: Strategy, Lancaster University, ontology, QoS, negotiation, monitoring, agreement, tool, Web; White papers 2005-10-11
An ontology-Based Infrastructure For Usability Design Patterns: Usability patterns represent knowledge about known ways to design graphical user interfaces that are usable and meet the needs and expectations of users. There is currently a plethora of usability patterns published in books, private repositories and the World-Wide Web. The dominance of pattern creation and discovery efforts has neglected...; Tags: Strategy, design pattern, ontology, Semantic Web, GUI, knowledge, software; White papers 2005-10-11

Semi-Automatic Construction Of Topic ontology: This paper reviews two techniques for topic discovery in collections of text documents (Latent Semantic Indexing and K-Means clustering) and present how the authors integrated them into a system for semiautomatic topic ontology construction.

Extending The Sweetdeal Approach For E-Procurement Using Sweet rules And RuleML: This paper shows the first detailed realistic e-business application scenario that uses and exploits capabilities of the SweetRules V2.1 toolset for e-contracting using the SweetDeal approach. SweetRules is a uniquely powerful integrated set of tools for semantic web rules and ontologies. SweetDeal is a rule-based approach to representation of business...; Tags: Supply chain management (SCM), E-business/E-commerce, Enterprise software, Purchasing & Procurement, Strategy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ontology, e-business application, SCM, supply chain, e-procurement, Semantic Web, procurement, B2B, agent, e-business, to; White papers 2005-09-03
Personalized Information Retrieval in Bibster, a Semantics-Based Bibliographic Peer-to-Peer System: Bibster is a semantics-based Peer-to-Peer system for exchanging bibliographic data among researchers. Bibster exploits ontologies in data storage, query formulation, query routing and answer presentation. While the original Bibster system assumed globally shared domain ontology, one here describes extensions to the Bibster system, that allow to learn personalized ontologies from...; Tags: Strategy, ontology, semantics, information retrieval, P2P, data storage, storage; White papers 2005-06-29
An ontology-Based Framework for Representing Organizational Knowledge: This paper describes an ontology-based organizational knowledge representation framework focused on the specification of a two kinds of ontologies: the top level ontology containing concepts characterizing the typical organizational background and COKE ontologies representing so called core organizational knowledge entities. The framework constitutes a representation of organizational knowledge providing a...; Tags: Strategy, ontology, knowledge, knowledge management; White papers 2005-06-29
Ontologies as Intra-Organizational Coordination Tools: Knowledge management and its features should be considered as crucial assets in knowledge-critical organizations, such as innovative manufacturing firms, research centres, universities, service companies, etc. Traditional knowledge management approaches are often aimed at unveiling, distributing and sharing knowledge as a stable and standardized result of meaning negotiation and coordination processes....; Tags: Knowledge, Ontology, Tool, Coordination Process, Knowledge Management, Strategy, Business Intelligence, Enterprise Software, Software, Management, Data Management; White papers 2005-06-28
Towards a Formal ontology for Military Coalitions Operations: The goal of this paper is to raise some of the fundamental questions that underpin the development of formal ontologies, especially the ones that are used for systems interoperability. To realize this, the three authors independently collaborated on different aspects of this paper. In this way, questions naturally arose from...; Tags: Northeastern University, ontology, collaboration; White papers 2005-03-28
How To Exploit Ontologies In Trust Negotiation: The World Wide Web makes it easy to share information and resources, but offers few ways to limit the manner in which these resources are shared. The specification and automated enforcement of security-related policies offer promise as a way of providing controlled sharing, but few tools are available to assist...; Tags: Strategy, Brigham Young University, ontology, specification, WWW, negotiation, security, tool, Web; White papers 2004-09-30
A Case Study in Supporting Distributed, Loosely-Controlled and Evolving Engineering of Ontologies (DILIGENT): Knowledge management solutions relying on central repositories sometimes have not met expectations, since users often create knowledge ad-hoc using their individual vocabulary and using their own decentral IT infrastructure. To improve knowledge management for such decentralized and individualized knowledge work, it is necessary to, first, provide a corresponding IT infrastructure...; Tags: Strategy, ontology, knowledge management, IT infrastructure, knowledge, information technology, P2P; White papers 2004-06-30
An ontology-Based Approach for Competence Bundling and Composition of Ad-Hoc Teams in an Organisation: This paper describes the current work in supporting the ad-hoc composition of teams, recruited from independent departments in an organisation, in order to solve a specific customer request. The paper proposes the usage of a web-based decision support system using ontologies as a conceptual model for representing the organisation-specific competence...; Tags: Team, Ontology, Composition, Team Management, Strategy, Management; White papers 2004-06-30
A Comprehensive Guideline for Building a Domain ontology From Scratch: Conceptual analysis and knowledge representation often require to develop an ontological support. The activity of developing a domain ontology is therefore one of the fundamental steps to be carried out when developing a shared model of the knowledge possessed by an organization, and consequently, one of the pilasters of knowledge...; Tags: Strategy, knowledge, ontology, knowledge management, analysis; White papers 2004-06-30
Construction Of The Dialysis And Transplantation ontology, Advantages, Limits, And Questions About Protege OWL: The project under progress concerns the development of a Local as View mediator for querying heterogeneous sources of end stage organ failure and transplantation information.
