Abstract

The new challenge of enterprise interoperability is to share knowledge inter-business via networks to enable all partners to benefit and WIN, WIN, WIN in their markets. The universal knowledge moderator (UKM) project envisages the delivery of collaborative knowledge services which learn through knowledge discovery module; exploit interoperability services through a semantic Web based mediated schema within universal inter-experts module; and increase inter-team awareness whilst improving coordination through moderation module, to achieve the global visions of enterprise interoperability. The overall aim of UKM is to significantly enhance the moderation activities for universal knowledge cooperation, using inter-connected semantic Web system.
