What are Knowledge Models?

• Knowledge Models are usually represented in knowledge languages, e.g.
  • Topic Maps
  • Business Process Models, 
  • Application diagrams 
  • etc.
• Several knowledge languages are included in knowledge modelling frameworks, e.g.
  • PROMOTE
  • KDML
  • Knowledge-MEMO

What is the goal of OKM?

• Discussion, Changes and Extensions of
  • Modelling Languages
  • Methodology
  • Algorithms/Services
• Motivation: Knowledge models are used in an application scenario and their knowledge language needs adaptations

What are examples for algorithms/services?

• Create, Update, Delete and Edit knowledge models
• Connect different knowledge models
  • Align two models
  • Transform into another knowledge language
  • Linking Models, i.e. in one model the content of another model in other language may be referenced
• Supporting Services
  • Generate value of an attribute out of other attribute values 
  • Restrict the possible values of an attribute
• Knowledge Languages may need to be extended to support further services
  • Extensions may affect the notebook of graphical objects, i.e. the attributes
  • Extensions may also include further graphical elements

Does OKM use the OMI infrastructure?

• OKM uses OMI which to engineer a modelling method for OKM
• OKM uses and develops services on OMI to design knowledge models
• OKM uses and develops services on OMI that interpret and execute knowledge models

What is the project history?

• Open Knowledge Models is an initiative starting from the project plugIT.
