“…In the domain of knowledge management in construction, Lima et al (2003) developed the Knowledge Management (KM) environment, e-CKMI, tailored for the Building and Construction (BC) sector in Europe. As a part of it, the e-COGNOS project addressed the need for developing domain taxonomy for construction concepts (El-Diraby et al, 2005).…”

“…Differences in the meanings of terms and mode of operation make real-time collaboration and coordination difficult. As demonstrated in the E-Cognos project (Lima et al, 2003), the use of shared ontologies and semantic standards will ensure increased interoperability across devices, platforms, and applications.…”

“…web services provide a flexible way of discovering and integrating emerging applications (Peng et al, 2003). The E-Cognos (Lima et al, 2003) project used the web services model as a primary means for system component a wireless solution interaction and application integration. Using a system dynamics model, Min and Bjornsson (2002) tested and verified that XMLweb services can improve the performance of a construction supply chain by enhancing information transparency.…”

Purpose -As the technology evolves, the ways in which supply chain is coordinated improve. During a careful study on the intelligent wireless web (IWW) and its services for future applications, its great potentials for the implementation of a mobile real-time system for supply chain coordination were realized. This paper seeks to introduce a development process for the IWW. In addition, it aims to explain the concept of mobile real-time supply chain coordination, and propose and describe a practical model for this subject matter based on the most recent technologies including the IWW and agents. Design/methodology/approach -Objectives were achieved through a thorough study on the IWW, agent technology, and the ways of applying them for mobile real-time coordination in supply processes. As a method to conduct the research, first, the paper made out what the IWW services are and how one may develop them. Since mobile real-time coordination is an absolutely innovative concept, the study prepared a comprehensive understanding of it and then, a practical framework was sketched and explained to implement the suggested system. The approach to this topic was a realistic one and an attempt was made to include all the prerequisites and details for the intended system. Findings -In the course of the work, it was found that the IWW and other corresponding technologies have the greatest potentials ever available for the realization of a mobile real-time supply chain coordination system and most of the chapters illustrate the claim. Originality/value -Mobile real-time coordination and its use in supply chains is something new. The development process for IWW proposed here is totally practicable and no other implementation scenario for the application of the IWW in mobile real-time coordination has been suggested yet.

“…Benefits may also be derived from uncovering previously unseen linkages between various elements of project data using such analysis methods. The e-Cognos project for example, developed and used a construction oriented ontology to augment the services that it offered as part of the collaborative knowledge management environment also developed on the project [1,4]. In the following section, we introduce the requirements of such ontology and provide an illustration of a potential ontology for the sector.…”
