An ontology cloud-shadow model based knowledge service framework

In this article, recent research of knowledge management is reviewed and a cloud-shadow model based knowledge service framework(CBKSF) is proposed. This framework use the definition and operation from cloud-shadow model theory which can reflect new-knowledge-view and knowledge's characters such as uncertainty, inconsistency, time-varying and sociality, regularity. By this means, it has some special advantages and can solve the problem exists in other frameworks. It is more suitable for Semantic Web. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
