This presentation by José Manuel Gómez-Pérez focuses on the next challenges facing semantic technologies in corporate knowledge management. It discusses the importance of explicitly representing knowledge to enhance machine exploitation, highlights the role of ontologies in formalizing shared conceptualizations, and addresses the need for effective knowledge preservation and optimization of enterprise processes. The increasing complexity of relationships among concepts, individuals, and ideas over time emphasizes the necessity for organizations to leverage semantic web applications for better integration and interoperation.

Types of Semantic Web Applications The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

So, what’s the focus? KNOWLEDGE • Knowledge is the most important asset to be managed by semantic applications • However, knowledge needs to be explicitly represented in order to be automatically exploited by machines ONTOLOGIES “An ontology is a formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualization” Concepts, properties relations, functions, constraints, axioms, are explicitly defined Machine-readable Consensual Knowledge Abstract model of some phenomenon in the world Studer, Benjamins, Fensel. Knowledge Engineering: Principles and Methods. Data and Knowledge Engineering. 25 (1998) 161-197
Open innovation providers employees clients
Information that we own… and lose experts relations between concepts (vs tags) relations between persons relations between ideas concepts in time
Enterprise process (discovery and optimization) • Large externalization of enterprise processes • Knowledge distributed amongst various providers • High risk of knowledge loss upon change of providers • Enterprise processes need to be made explicit in order to allow • Knowledge preservation • Increase understanding of process execution • Process optimization • Several approaches • Process mining e.g. ProM • Knowledge provenance e.g. KOPE
