Introduction to Ontologies for Defense Business Analytics
Pages 87 - 101
Abstract
In recent years, ontologies have become the leading solution for capturing corporate knowledge. Stored explicitly in documentation or tacitly in the minds of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), enterprise knowledge, in all its forms, can be optimized into a tangible representation that gives way to more advanced business analytics. This paper seeks to review the benefits and challenges of developing ontologies through the lens of the government defense sector. To further demonstrate the learning curve in adapting to ontologies and graph-based knowledge structures in general, this paper will also provide a use-case experiment where business Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) were trained to design an ontology of the Operating Materials and Supplies (OM&S) domain at Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific by-hand.
