KROM: An Organizational Meta-Model Oriented to Knowledge: A Case from Ophthalmic Industry

Most of the current knowledge management approaches deal with the problems of knowledge identification and formalization. In some case, and especially in the knowledge engineering field, they deal with the problems of knowledge reuse modeling. However there are few researches dealing with both themes of knowledge management and skills management to make the reuse of knowledge easier and more valuable to people. We present in this paper an organizational Meta-Model which aims to highlight the links between these two research themes. Based on our results with an Ophthalmic industry, we will present you our approach to define KROM (Knowledge Reuse Organizational Meta-Model) an organizational model supporting the knowledge reuse.
