Research on semantic-based knowledge service for cluster supply chain
Knowledge service is critical to enterprise collaboration in cluster supply chain. However, current cluster enterprises have limited capabilities for knowledge sharing. In order to address the knowledge service needs of cluster supply chain, this paper proposes a novel semantic-based knowledge service approach. In the approach, a multi-level knowledge model is presented to achieve uniform and flexible representation for cluster public knowledge and enterprise private knowledge, which further forms complex knowledge network for cluster supply chain. Then the knowledge collaboration mechanism is utilized to support knowledge collaborative creating and enriching, and cooperative sharing. In addition, the knowledge access control scheme is employed to ensure high security. To demonstrate the practicality of the proposed approach, a knowledge service platform is implemented, including several core services such as knowledge collaborative editing, retrieval and visual navigation, etc. Applications show that this platform can support knowledge sharing between enterprises effectively and further promote the development of cluster supply chain efficiently.
