Knowledge source network configuration approach to knowledge logistics

Today an intensive knowledge exchange between participants of the global information environment is required. Along with a large number of distributed knowledge sources representing knowledge in various formats this leads to the appearance of a new direction in knowledge management called knowledge logistics. The paper describes a knowledge source network configuration approach (KSNet-approach) to knowledge logistics through knowledge fusion. It is based on such technologies as ontology management and intelligent agents. The most important ideas of the proposed KSNet-approach were implemented and verified via a developed software prototype of the system "KSNet".
