Know-Linking: An approach to generate shared knowledge between several actors in companies application in aerospace manufacturer

Actors in companies are producing a daily large amount of knowledge, which is embedded and in the most of cases not easily accessible. Getting benefits from this capital of knowledge is a key of progress of any organization. Many researchers proposed different ways to capitalize knowledge and make it accessible but those approaches are still not sufficient to resolve the problem in the context of a large company (more than 5000 employees working on long term projects). In the current paper, we propose an approach based on Hybrid-profiling techniques to structure actors in company who shares same missions, working tools and knowledge requirement into a common profile structure. Than, we build a semantic model of extracted profiles which gives the possibility to apply indexing of knowledge resources based on profiles semantic representation. On our behalf, this process still not sufficient to solve knowledge access problems, which encourages us to discover hidden collaboration which results on producing a shared knowledge between profiles. We call them hidden semantic links between profiles, that expressed deeply in knowledge resources. Our approach called "Know-linking" was applied it in aerospace manufacturer, tests and results are presented in the current paper.
