| Abstract | Knowledge representation frameworks are a fundamental part of knowledge management systems. Normally, a framwork consists of three interrelated components: knowledge modeling technique, knowledge representation language and reasoning mechanism (Inference Engine). Many frameworks have been developed with the common goal to provide sufficient expressive power to model and represent all kinds of knowledge in a clearly specified syntax, formal and precise semantics as well as efficient reasoning support. Moreover, a knowledge representation language has to be formulated by means of existing web standards for interchangeability among applications. However, at present there is no framework which can fulfill this goal. Therefore, a new knowledge representation framework is proposed aiming to accomplish that goal. Its design is based on three concepts: standard unified knowledge modeling language by means of Unified Modeling Language (UML), unified knowledge representation language by means of XML Declarative Description (XDD) and efficient reasoning mechanism by means of Equivalent Transformation (ET). These three concepts lead to the provision of a practical and efficient inter-knowledge representation framework. Based on this framework, a prototype of knowledge management system for a research organization is developed as a demonstration of its practicality and potential usage in real-world knowledge management. |
