Knowledge-Based Support to Business Innovation.
Francesco Taglino, Fabrizio Smith, Maurizio Proietti · 2012
We address the problem of providing knowledge management support to business innovation. We consider the context of virtual enterprise environments, where knowledge is often fragmented and heterogeneous, and interoperability is a crucial requirement. We propose a knowledge repository and management infrastructure, called Production and Innovation Knowledge Repository (PIKR), to support open innovation in virtual enterprises. The PIKR provides a set of reference ontologies to semantically describe enterprise knowledge resources, and semantics-based services for accessing and reasoning over such descriptions. The proposal is being conceived in the framework of the BIVEE European project and adheres to the Linked Data approach.
