Knowledge Mobilization through Re-addressable Ontologies

Access to stored knowledge is a complex, yet extremely well-studied process. Knowledge management has always concentrated on coding and proposing infrastructures for the explicit storing of knowledge. In this document, we shall study the problems which exist in knowledge mobilization. In turn, we shall present our proposal for dealing with the problems encountered in knowledge mobilization from any low performance device (PDAs, mobiles, etc.). By using ontologies, web services and a multi-agent architecture, we are able to address requests until the desired knowledge is obtained. A study case is tackled in order to examine the advantages that this proposal offers. The new concepts of brief ontologies and re-addressable ontologies are introduced.
