Resourceome: a semantic knowledge management system based on multilevel ontology model, supporting both procedural and declarative knowledge. http://resourceome.cs.unicam.it/

1. RESOURCEOME – CREATE, ORGANISE AND APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE Alessandro Bettacchi, Simon Brander, Nicola Paoletti 1/20/2010 1 Resourceome - Complex System Design - AY 2009/2010

2. Resourceome in a few words 1/20/2010 2 Resourceome - Complex System Design - AY 2009/2010

5. Background and concepts WHAT IS KNOWLEDGE? Knowledge is the collection of the informations needed by a human being or a machine to carry out a task. 1/20/2010 5 Resourceome - Complex System Design - AY 2009/2010 KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS A Knowledge Management System (KMS) is a complex system providing a continous flow of knowledge to the right people at the right time within the organization in order to maximize the return on intellectual assets and information sources.

6. Background and concepts TWO TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE 1/20/2010 6 Resourceome - Complex System Design - AY 2009/2010 Declarative knowledge refers to our memory for concepts, facts, or episodes. Procedural knowledge refers to the ability to perform various tasks.

7. Background and concepts ONTOLOGIES IN INFORMATION SCIENCE 1/20/2010 7 Resourceome - Complex System Design - AY 2009/2010 “An ontology is a formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualization for a domain of interest.” R. Gruber In Information Science, ontologies are models representing an explicit knowledge and are specified through a formal language.

8. Background and concepts WHAT IS WORKFLOW? A workflow is the partial or total automation of a business process. It is based on a model involving activities and control patterns which determine the execution flow. 1/20/2010 8 Resourceome - Complex System Design - AY 2009/2010 WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (WMS) “A system that completely defines, manages and executes workflows through the execution of software.” Workflow Management Coalition - WfMC

10. Engine: provides the run time execution environment for a workflow istance

11. Administration and Monitoring: provides user management and process control functions.

12. Client Application: is the software system responsible for the interaction between the end user and the WMS

14. RESOURCEOME WORKFLOW management system 1/20/2010 11 Resourceome - Complex System Design - AY 2009/2010

18. If: conditional routing. The choice of the activity to execute is case-driven

19. Iterator: cyclic execution of a subflow until its condition is true

20. Concurrence: enables parallel execution

21. Default Exception: determines the routing according to previous exceptions or errors

24. FEATURES:

25. Advanced manipulation of activity parameters

26. Graphical Editor for If and Iterator conditions

27. Ontology-driven process definition

29. Execution Hystory

30. Results visualization with several plugins

31. Publishing Tools: make available a workflow to the end user through a simplified GUI; in this way, published workflows can be accessed and executed without knowing their implementation.

32. Web Services: invoked at run time by the execution engine, assure a wide interoperability.

35. General information aboutcompanies

36. Country-specific business entitytypes
