Knowledge science is a problem-oriented interdisciplinary field that takes as its subject the modeling of the knowledge creation process and its application, and carries out research in such disciplines as knowledge management, management of technology, support for the discovery, synthesis and creation of knowledge, and innovation theory with the aim of constructing a better knowledge-based soc...

The KIWI project developed a platform called OntoExtractor enabling semi-automatic extraction of ontologies. This platform is composed of different modules. A first module extract typical instances from a data flow. A second module propose some topological relations among the detected classes. A third module assist the knowledge engineer in transforming classes and relations tentatively propose...

Copyright issues are significant for worldwide information sharing, while mutual understanding about the commonalities and differences among international copyright law articles is difficult due to the diversity of legal knowledge representation. The goal of our research is to propose an appropriate methodology and capture a uniform conceptual model that will provide semantic level representati...

This paper presents and motivates an extended ontology knowledge model which represents explicitly semantic information about concepts. This knowledge model results from enriching the usual conceptual model with semantic information which precisely characterises the concept’s properties and expected ambiguities, including which properties are prototypical of a concept and which are exceptional,...

One of the most currently used knowledge representation forms are ontologies; which offer dissimilar advantages for modeling, generation, distribution and use of knowledge produced and accumulated in organizations. Given these advantages for knowledge management, ontologies are widely used to manage large volumes of environmental information that arise from this process, primarily the historica...
