| Ontology (in KE community) | Explicit specification of a conceptualization according to (Gruber, 1993). Formal specification of a shared conceptualization according to (Borst, 1997) formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualization of a domain of interest according to (Handschuh et al, 2001) that thus gathers the definitions of (Gruber, 1993) and (Borst, 1997); Logical theory which gives an explicit, partial account of a conceptualization (Guarino & Giaretta, 1995). In KM context, ontologies enable to describe conceptual vocabulary shared by a community in an organization (Dieng et al, 2001). Ontologies aim to capture consensual knowledge in a generic way, and they may be reused and shared across applications and by groups of people (Gómez Pérez et al, 2004). |
