Abstract

This chapter gives an insight into ontology and knowledge management approaches as applied to Virtual Organizations. It focuses on research efforts from the mid-nineties, and briefly describes approaches, implementations, and innovative achievements.

The dominant approach is for VO projects to develop application systems and tools and to integrate them through common databases and ICT architectures. Ontology tools and structures, knowledge management systems and knowledge elements are developed and managed disjoint from operational systems.

However, recent model-based approaches, creating ontology and knowledge services as reusable task and meta-models, are indicating a paradigm-shift in solutions design and systems architecting and engineering approaches.
