Using a Novel ORM-Based Ontology Modelling Method to Build an Experimental Innovation Router

  • Conference paper
Engineering Knowledge in the Age of the Semantic Web (EKAW 2004)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3257))

Abstract

Specific tools help to increase the effectiveness of a shortened innovation cycle. The paper presents a web based tool for the creation of a scenario of what an innovation environment looks like, by enabling enriched queries and by allowing the identification of specific innovation gurus and key role institutions. The tool relies on an ontology-based knowledge representation that has been built using a recently adapted conceptual modelling methodology.
