Abstract
Information overload caused by the rate at which data can be produced and the ease with which it can be accessed poses a significant challenge to those charged with maintaining an overview of large, complex, multidisciplinary projects. Geological disposal of long-lived radioactive waste is a technical area characterized by a breadth of multidisciplinary knowledge wider than almost any other industry. The particular challenges for radwaste require the development of a system that pushes the current limits of information technology (IT). This chapter illustrates an approach to the problem that focuses on a formal knowledge management system (KMS) and associated knowledge base that use state-of-the-art tools, developed in the field of knowledge engineering (KE) and IT. It considers how advanced knowledge management (KM) tools can best contribute to the development, review, communication, and control of the iterative evolution of safety cases.
