This course starts with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of knowledge management (KM) processes. A detailed introduction to ontology, reasoning, querying, and extraction will then be lectured, followed by a series of discussions on the BFO (Basic Formal Ontology) applications. Students are encouraged to discuss real company cases using KMST (knowledge management systems and technologies) during the class. Students are also expected to explore a knowledge domain deeper and demonstrate the KM processes in the final report.
