Concept feature-based ontology construction and maintenance

Effectively implementing KM in enterprises depends on the pervasive use of ontology in developing KM systems and the facilitation of enterprises in the construction, integration, evolution, access, and evaluation of knowledge. This study develops a concept feature-based mechanism for constructing and maintaining ontology. In addition to assisting enterprise knowledge engineers in constructing and classifying knowledge more precisely to increase knowledge maintenance efficiency, the proposed mechanism assists knowledge users in accurately searching for required knowledge based on use of concept features.
