Abstract

This paper presents the architecture of peer-to-peer(P2P) management of knowledge artifacts based on adistributed ontology. We analyze the main processes ofKnowledge Management (KM), namely, knowledgeacquisition and knowledge retrieval. P2P informationmanagement and ontologies yield significant advantageswhen combined and applied as advanced Web applicationfor KM: (1) the knowledge owner (called knowledge peer)keeps control of his/her ontologies and knowledgeartifacts against other knowledge peers, (2) corporationsbenefit because valuable knowledge will spread amongknowledge peers due to P2P properties and thus will notbe lost even if particular individuals leave thecorporation.
