An Ontology-centered Approach for Designing an Interactive Competence Management System for IT Companies
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents an ontology-centered approach for designing an interactive competence management system for IT companies. This type of approach helps to shift the focus from a function-oriented, tool-centric view, towards a semantic-oriented view. In the paper are covered subjects as: ontologies definitions, generic architecture of the competence management system (CMS), structure of CMS ontology, building and working the ontology (integrity and inference of the ontology, knowledge acquisition, conceptualization phase, querying types of concepts). The advantage of using an ontology-based system is the possibility of the identification of new relations among concepts based on inferences starting from the existing knowledge. The user can choose to query instances of one type of concept, based on the relations that are displayed for him/her in a dropping menu. In addition to choosing relations modeled in the ontology, the user may also query inferred relations that are not explicitly stored in the knowledge base. Other search type is browsing the ontology. The skeleton of the ontology is seen as a tree with nodes and hyperlinks that point to other concepts or instances. Starting from base-concepts, the user can get specific information about any instance or concept. The paper also presents some use-cases, conclusions and further developments.
