Abstract
This paper introduces practical issues of implementing and deploying safety knowledge management software to aviation safety. Domain specific intangible nature of the issues concerned is described and all factors which prevent successful application of any knowledge management system are documented. Aviation organizations are struggling to find any effective solution which would on one hand allow timely tracking of the dynamic knowledge and on the other to not limit or bias reporters or investigators within the knowledge gathering process. The article deals mainly with practical issues concerning the deployment of reporting software, which constitutes the interface between humans and ontology model behind the software, capable to address trade-offs between various conflicting design criteria as well as many aviation organization types, as the aviation safety knowledge is to be gathered in cooperation with the industry.
