Abstract

Knowledge is undoubtedly one of the most important assets for all organizations. Losing knowledge that once was considered part of an organization always poses a problem. When knowledge is concentrated on single individuals, as is often the case in research environments, this is particularly difficult to avoid. This is also true for software developed by individuals such as Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) applications. In this paper we show how the Codex Framework, which is based on Semantic Web Technologies (SWT), can be used for creating, maintaining and inspecting formalized knowledge in a way which also fosters its reuse and execution. We show use cases where Codex was applied and discuss the advantages and shortcomings compared to a conventional Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) approach. From these experiences we then draw conclusions on why the adoption rate of Codex is below expectation and present a newly developed collaborative knowledge platform which is designed to overcome the identified challenges.
