Selecting and structuring semantic resources to support SMEs knowledge communities
Knowledge management intrinsically involves communication and information sharing, which can be
strongly affected by the context in which it is viewed and interpreted. This situation gets worst when
complex domains are considered, as it is the case of the Construction Industry domains. The development of
ontologies to unify and to put into context the different concepts and terms of the sometimes rather
traditional and locally coloured construction industry domains is a necessary step to avoid
misinterpretations and inefficient communication. The KNOW-CONSTRUCT project decided, as an
approach to this task, to re-use, as far as possible, existing ontologies, classification systems and other
semantic resources in order to develop a system that may come to contribute to standards and to the
integration, management and reuse of the area specific knowledge via a common knowledge base in order to
consolidate and provide access to integrated knowledge, making community emergent knowledge a
significant added value. It aims at developing a methodology of common Construction Industry Knowledge
(CIK) representation applicable to large sets of SMEs in the construction industry as a basis for the
establishment of a knowledge community.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Terminologia e ontologias : metodologias para representação do conhecimento
Doutoramento em LinguÃsticaDiscute-se na presente dissertação as metodologias de representação do conhecimento que podem ser utilizadas em terminologia na construção de ontologias. Através da análise de duas abordagens terminológicas – semasiologia e onomasiologia – observa-se o estatuto do texto de especialidade sob um ponto de vista teórico e prático, questionando-se a sua importância e o contributo do terminólogo e do especialista na captura de conhecimento enquanto especificação informal de uma conceptualização.The subject matter of this dissertation is the discussion of knowledge representation methodologies that can be used in terminology for the construction of ontologies. The theoretical and practical analysis of two terminological approaches – semasiological and onomasiological – will allow us to observe the role played by the text for special purposes while questioning its importance and the contribution of the terminologist and the domain specialist in the capture of knowledge as representation of an informal specification of a conceptualization
