WP suggestionCreation of a Knowledge Base

• Mattias Larsson, KTH

Objectives and underlying rationale (why)

• The INNOMET list of skills and questionnaires are
  not uniform and will not be uniform unless we
  dont define and structure the underlying
  concepts
• If we dont define the skills in a formal way we
  will soon encounter inconsistencies in the system
• And, most important, we dont have a way of
  defining personal capabilities in a uniform way
• A solution to this problem is to develop a
  taxonomy, or ontology of skills, which would be
  one of the objectives of this WP

3

• With a formal way of describing a persons
  capability (in terms of skills) it should be
• possible to
• Create a knowledge base, in its traditional form,
  representing and describing personnel
  capabilities
• Support decision making
• Support competence management
• Describe the ideas and concepts existing within
  the IPS
• Identical understanding of terms and definitions
• An ontology describing the employees capability
  (skills) can be used as a valuable
• input or construct to enterprise modelling
  approaches, HR concerns, competence
• management etc.
