Building Ontology for Adaptive Collaboration in a Dynamic Environment
Building new knowledge-based systems usually involves constructing or modelling new knowledge bases systems. Current knowledge modelling methodologies tend to focus on the subsystem, viewing domain knowledge as strongly dependent on the particular task at hand. Recently, however, the potential value of task-independent knowledge bases (or \ontologies\) suitable to large-scale integration has been underlined in many ways. This article examined three broad methods for building ontologies and uses one of them to build ontology for adaptive collaboration in a dynamic environment for knowledge sharing.
Keywords: Ontology, knowledge-based systems, collaborative, adaptive and modelling
