Development of Semantic-CBR Framework for Virtual Enterprises in Project Management

The information communication technology definitely encouraging global collaboration among enterprises on a project basis makes virtual enterprises possible and popular. However, the existing constraints of virtual enterprises, such as distributed resources, heterogeneous data and different definition, easily resulted in many difficulties as managing a project. Accordingly, the semantic support becomes rather important as solving these problems. Therefore, Semantic-CBR framework is proposed for improving the communication and integrating the project experiences for virtual enterprises. OWL and RDF are applied for the implementation of the semantic structure of the framework. Moreover, case-based reasoning is utilized for selecting the related project experiences according to the user requirement. Therefore, the semantic support increases the understanding for virtual enterprises and enhances the facility of reasoning mechanism for project management in the research.
