Abstract

This paper addresses the realization of modularized knowledge models within a heterogeneous application domain using an existing knowledge management tool. The application domain we deal with is travel medicine, which combines medical aspects with geography, climate, holiday activities and associated traveling conditions. In this paper we present the application's requirements and show how knowledge models can be developed using an industrial strength application. Furthermore we present the challenges of a knowledge model based on multi-case bases whereas each case base represents its own area of expertise. Hence, we introduce our knowledge model for the travel medicine application and exemplify the implementation of typical data types and similarity measures.
