First International Conference on Practical Aspects of Knowledge Management October 30 - 31, 1996, Basel, Switzerland
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
WORKSHOP ON PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE SHARING FOR INTEGRATED ENTERPRISES
ORGANIZERS:
Harold Boley - German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI GmbH), Kaiserslautern, Germany (boley@informatik.uni-kl.de)
Nicola Guarino - National Research Council, LADSEB-CNR, Padova, Italy (guarino@ladseb.pd.cnr.it)
With the sponsorship of European Union's PDTAG (Product Data Technology Advisory Group)
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Product knowledge is widely distributed and stored in a variety of ways, in paper files, electronically, and in the memories of individuals. How can this knowledge be shared and integrated in order to minimise revision loops and translation costs between product generations? In this workshop we will compare strategies for integrating *legacy systems* - databases, knowledge bases, and (hyper)texts - into so-called *corporate memories*, structured by *shared ontologies*.
