Knowledge management and history

Capitalisation of the history of a technology, a technique or a concept within an industrial company is relevant to historians. However it largely exceeds the historical problems from a Knowledge Management point of view. In this context, it can be the subject of specific approaches especially Knowledge Engineering. However, it faces two types of difficulties: - The techniques in History have few modelling tools, and are even rather reticent with the use of such tools. - Knowledge Engineering doesn't often address historical knowledge modelling, for tracing knowledge evolution. It is however possible to develop robust and validated methods, tools and techniques which take into account these two approaches, which, if they function in synergy, appear rich and fertile.History, MASK, Knowledge management, Knowledge engineering, History of techniques

Histoire et ingénierie des connaissances

National audienceLa capitalisation de l'histoire d'une technologie, d'une technique ou d'un concept au sein d'une organisation industrielle est a priori du ressort des historiens. Cependant elle dépasse largement la problématique historique quand elle s'inscrit dans une perspective de Knowledge Management. Replacé dans ce contexte, elle peut faire alors l'objet d'approches spécifiques, notamment grâce à l'ingénierie des connaissances. Cependant, cela se heurte pour l'instant à deux types de difficultés : - Les techniques d'histoire disposent de peu d'outils de modélisation, et sont même plutôt réticentes à l'utilisation de tels outils. - L'ingénierie des connaissances s'est assez peu posé le problème de modéliser des connaissances historiques, retraçant l'évolution des connaissances. Il est cependant possible de développer des méthodes, des outils et des techniques robustes et validées qui prennent en compte ces deux approches, qui, si elles fonctionnent en synergie, se révèlent riches et fécondes
