KNOWLEDGE NET: MODEL AND SYSTEM FOR ACCUMULATION, REPRESENTATION AND USE OF KNOWLEDGE AND DATA

Abstract

The paper describes the Knowledge Net data and knowledge accumulation model developed by the authors for the company Info Wings LLC, proposed as a model for formalizing, presenting and using of knowledge and data for integrated information space of an intelligent enterprise, e.g. within the framework of Industry 4.0. The Knowledge Net is based on a graph data model and is a part of the ongoing application development of a digital enterprise platform. The code of a software system that supports the Knowledge Net model is open sourced. The paper provides an example of using a software prototype to describe objects of a manufacturing enterprise. A key feature of Knowledge Net, which distinguishes development from well-known counterparts, is the combination of properties such as support for multiaspect descriptions of subjects and objects of an enterprise, the possibility of expanding the network of concepts and entities along with the development of the enterprise, dynamic formation of the structure of aspects and their properties, multiplicity of possible typifications presented by the Knowledge Net model, as well as support for the versioning knowledge and data models.
