Abstract

Expert knowledge and decision-making capabilities are widely considered as organisational ressources of high value. In order to exploit the organisational knowledge capital in collaborative decision-making settings, we propose a generic ontology model that has been defined with the use of XML technologies, as it attempts to chieve maximun interoperability and reuse. In this paper we present the structure and the main features of th proposed ontology model, and we describe its application through a case concerning manufacturing management.
