The main vision of a Corporate Memory System is the definition of a computer system that captures a company's accumulated knowledge assets and makes them available to others. The management of corporate memories involves a coherent set of activities that leads to the definition of a comprehensive corporate memory system. The methodological approach applied by K-Now relies on a cross-disciplinary investigation that includes knowledge engineering techniques, ontologies, semantic data modelling, software engineering and database techniques.
The immediate aim was to develop a prototype of a Group Memory System (GMS) to support project team members' activities and the knowledge dissemination between them. A group memory can be interpreted as an Corporate Memory instantiation.
The empirical work, developed in a target organization, involved practical research on project team management systems through the design and prototypal development of a group memory system (GMS). The main goal of the GMS artefact was the enhancement of corporate teamwork effectiveness. For this purpose, this system will relied upon an intranet access model.
The conceptual level of this framework is the Group Memory (GMe) Ontology. The main role of the GMe Ontology is the creation of a shared conceptualization in order to act as a communication medium between group members and software applications. Consequently, this ontology is intended to support structurally and dynamically the group knowledge representation in order to enable a common understanding (consensual knowledge) about shared purposes, clear roles and competencies, and a model for decision
