COMMONKADS for Knowledge Based System Development: A Literature Study

Abstract

COMMONKADS is a method for developing knowledge-based system. This method describes foundation, technique, modeling language and document structure for develop the knowledge-based system. COMMONKADS is people-oriented system development methodology, and this methodology is often used for developing organizational knowledge management system. COMMONKADS approach is divided based on context (organizational model, task model, agent model), concept (knowledge model) and artifact (design model). COMMONKADS have been used widely for knowledge-based system in several fields, such as COMMONKADS that integrated in tourism knowledge-based system, COMMONKADS for irrigation expert system, expertise model using COMMONKADS in manufactured company, COMMONKADS in energy management system and many more. Generally, there are eight strengths of COMMONKADS methodology for develop knowledge-based system. Its strength is flexible to use in any scope, represent knowledge (organizational, domain, task and inference knowledge), complete (representation, model, and form), powerful, accurate, comprehensive, represent KM process, systematic and effective. While the weakness of COMMONKADS methodology only three, there are don't have validation process and difficult to acquisition knowledge and use semi formal language, large data storage. Nevertheless, COMMONKADS is recommended methodology for develop knowledge-based system.
