Ontology itself facilitates knowledge sharing
in organization or inter-organizational context. Edgington, Choi, Henson, Raghu,
and Vinze (2004) discussed how to adopt ontology to facilitate knowledge sharing.
Maedche, Motik, Stojanovic, Studer, and Voltz (2003) suggested an architecture of
ontology management systems enabling ontology mapping and its evolution. The
architecture shows how to support multiple ontologies and manage ontology evolution,
not in global context such as the Internet Web, but in enterprise wide. The
studies on extension of organizational KM systems to the Internet Web have been
conducted. Tiwana and Ramesh (2001) discussed how to integrate knowledge on the
Web. The Internet Web has been recognized as a medium of access and connection to
integrate distributed applications and information before the advent of the Semantic
Web. The Semantic Web enables knowledge representation and allows organizations
to manage Web contents as knowledge resources with inference abilities.
Recently, a few projects for killer applications as well as building infrastructure
have been conducted.
