Professional Services Automation: A Knowledge Management Approach Using LSI and Domain Specific Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Knowledge Management represents a crucial component of corporations’ efforts to gain competitive advantage from targeted re-use of knowledge assets. Companies that provide consulting services depend heavily on developing, selling, and applying ideas. They need to organize and structure intellectual property for efficient and effective re-use. In this paper, we discuss the RFP Responder, a prototype system being developed at Telcordia Technologies, for effectively responding to RFPs (Request for Proposals) received by the Professional Services strategic business unit. The use of domain specific ontologies and latent semantic indexing for effective categorization and selection of knowledge assets is presented. The expected business impact of the system is also discussed.

متن کاملSweetDeal: Representing Agent Contracts with Exceptions Using Semantic Web Rules, Ontologies, and Process Descriptions
We address the problem in automated knowledge-based e-contracts of how to represent exception handling provisions – which in many (if not most) natural language contracts constitute the majority of the contract's volume. We make three main novel contributions. First, we newly extend the previous SweetDeal e-contracting approach to incorporate ontology knowledge, specifically ontologies about bu...
متن کاملUsing Domain Knowledge Provided by Ontologies for Improving Data Quality Management
Several data quality management (DQM) tasks like duplicate detection or consistency checking depend on domain specific knowledge. Many DQM approaches have potential for bringing together domain knowledge and DQM metadata. We provide an approach which uses this knowledge modeled in ontologies instead of aquiring that knowledge by cost-intensive interviews with domain-experts. These ontologies ca...
متن کاملUse of Existing Ontologies as Input for Structural Complexity Management - Reducing the Effort for Analysing and Improving Engineering Systems
This paper presents an approach for combining two actual trends in the engineering domain: ontology-based knowledge management and structural complexity management. A focussed engineering system can be analysed and possibilities for improvements can be deduced with low effort by applying structure based algorithms on already existing ontologies. An overview of the current use of ontologies in t...
