On Designing Ontologies for Knowledge Sharing in Communities of Practice

چکیده
Ontologies in information systems design are world models used for sharing and reuse of knowledge. Besides formal ontologies, strictly based on logical theories, there are semi-formal ontology approaches. In this paper, ontologies are viewed as situated in human activity. As illustrated in three case studies, they embody conceptual views in an area of interest, they constitute the constructed reality of computer artifacts, they are shaped by the technologies chosen for their implementation, and used in different ways to enhance work in communities of practice. Therefore, they give rise to design issues like useorientation, flexible architecture and iterative development.
