Abstract

The article is based on the research project “Network Enabled Capability Knowledge Management of the Army Czech Republic”, which the first project is dealing with the Knowledge Management at the Czech military. The theoretical basis of the project is Topic Maps. The key issue for the project solution is designing and creating a suitable ontology. The paper describes the Software Engineering procedure from the selection of an Upper Ontology through the Core Ontology design to the processing of the Domain Ontology. Ontology definitions are stated and their meaning is explained. Ontology design was evaluated.
