Paper Abstract:
|
Knowledge Based Systems (KBSs) has been a research and practice area of growing interest for more than a decade. After an initial success, the lack of sophisticated methodologies or theories for the transformation of domain knowledge in a form that is utilizable by a computer-based application, in addition to serious difficulties such as the low reusability of their components due to requirements imposed by diverse knowledge domains and groups, made the reconsideration of the KBSs development process appearing as a prominent need. On the other hand, Web Engineering is an emerging discipline that aims at the deployment of tools, techniques and methodologies to support the development of web appli-cations. Taking the above remarks into account, this paper proposes a framework of practices for the development of collaborative KBSs that comply with it. The proposed framework deploys a series of tools and methodologies to support the development of the above applications during their whole life cycle, striving for openness, scalability and cross-platform compatibility. Much attention is also paid to issues related to requirements analysis and services specification with respect to a CoPs practices, the applications architecture, and the related ontologies building. |
