KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Abstract:

Many definitions of ontology are posited in the literature (see Guarino, 2004). Here, we adopt Gruber's (1995) view which defines ontologies as simplified and explicit specification of a phenomenon. In this article, we posit an ontology that explicates the components of knowledge management (KM) phenomena. This explicit characterization of knowledge management can help in systematically understanding or modeling KM phenomenon.
