An ontology-based solution for knowledge management and eLearning integration

Abstract

As knowledge becomes a crucial asset to organization's survival, an efficient knowledge management policy should be set up and should result into an organizational memory. Similarly, an effective eLearning program must be implemented in the organization and exploit the organizational memory to manage competence evolution, In this paper, we introduce a framework to manage organizational knowledge through the creation and management of an ontology-based Organizational Memory (OM). We also explain how an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) can benefit from this OM in order to provide a just-in time, just enough learning solution to the organization's members. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
