Knowledge management for intelligent interoperability in production networks

A conceptual model of the knowledge management system for interoperability automatization between production network partners is proposed. The knowledge management system has a distributed architecture and is based on usage of the ontology model of the problem domain and such technologies as profiling and competence management. User profiles allow to specify and extend user request and personalize information and knowledge flow from the knowledge management system to the user. Competence profiles of the production network partners allow to find partners for a certain production operation or production/delivery of the required components.
