“…Abdullah, Benest, Evans and Kimble [20] noted that the knowledge model of CommonKADS incorporates application development processes through the use of a class diagram, a use case diagram, an activity diagram and a state diagram. CommonKADS provides tools for corporate knowledge management tasks and knowledge intensive processes rather than capturing domain knowledge and modelling the knowledge for application development [20,21]. Task based modelling and requirements capture through use cases is the priority in this approach, which is in the classic tradition of structured systems analysis and development, evolved to be compatible with objectoriented development.…”

Issues around climate change are being examined globally across various disciplines and informed decisions at community levels are required within wider national responses. Research addressing decision support for managing the possible impacts on human communities has to date been limited. As climate science knowledge and government policy changes, information must be updated for dissemination to regional implementers. Traditional knowledge repositories for decision support however work on static models, expensive to update in dynamic fields. This paper describes a process for developing a sustainable knowledge repository for decision support that can assist local policy development in climate change applications. An ontology guaranteeing the semantic integrity of the repository is a central feature. Using a semantic wiki approach the semantic integrity of the knowledge base is combined with the update of emergent findings from multiple stakeholders. Both methodological and practical aspects for developing an information framework to support climate change decision makers are addressed.

IV ABSTRACTThe product development process, within a typical manufacturing company, utilises huge amounts of knowledge related to manufacturing and design activities. Knowledge based systems are increasingly being used to support manufacturing and design decisions. These systems are important tools for obtaining a competitive advantage and leverage using company "know-how". However, it is important to define suitable knowledge structures in the creation of these decision support systems. Due to the significant volume of knowledge generated in the manufacturing and design stage, there is a need to create structures and methods that readily manage and maintain the knowledge in order to a) assure the long-term use of these systems b) improve the company's competitiveness.The research reported in this thesis explores and defines a Manufacturing Facility Information and Knowledge Model (MFIKM) allowing a) the ability to store and manage various types of knowledge, b) the capturing of valuable new knowledge using a knowledge maintenance method. The understanding of an information and knowledge infrastructure using different types of knowledge categorisation has been explored. The major emphasis has been placed on understanding the facility knowledge structure related to processes and resources supporting process planning decisions. Using a knowledge maintenance life cycle as a method to maintain knowledge, it was possible to capture new and valuable machining knowledge using different types of representations. Knowledge models and methods are essential in the definition of structures to support manufacturing decisions allowing knowledge management and maintenance.It has been shown that the knowledge structures defined for the new model can serve as a source and repository for different types of knowledge allowing the support of manufacturing decisions with up-to-date knowledge. The framework defined enables the structuring of facility knowledge, processes, and resources, as super classes; improving the understanding of the relationships and dependencies among them, and allowing accessibility depending on the characteristics of each. A UML tool helped in the creation of new structures detailing attr...
