Integration of Case-Based and Ontology-Based Reasoning for the Intelligent Reuse of Project-Related Knowledge

Abstract

The knowledge management techniques case-based and ontology-based reasoning are applied to the domain of complex, especially international logistics or supply chain management projects. The aim is to support the “intelligent”, i.e. content-addressed (“semantic”) reuse of knowledge about such projects. We present as an example a recommender system for the acquisition and reuse of knowledge about international transport projects based on relevant ontologies integrated in the well-known CBR cycle. The recommender system is implemented using the open source CBR development framework jColibri.
