Developing Ontologies for Adaptive Collaboration in a Dynamic Environment

Abstract

Constructing or modelling new knowledge-based systems is common while developing new knowledge-based systems. Current knowledge modelling approaches tend to concentrate on the subsystem, considering domain knowledge to be highly dependent on the particular task at hand. However, the importance of task-independent knowledge bases (or "ontologies") for large-scale integration has recently been highlighted in a variety of ways.This article looks at three different approaches to creating ontologies and utilises one of them to create an ontology for adaptive collaboration in a dynamic knowledge-sharing environment. Ontologies are consensual representations of a domain of discourse and the backbone of the future Semantic Web.
