An Ontological Model for Knowledge Management through Concept Composition

In this paper, an ontology model is proposed for developing new concepts in the realm of enterprise knowledge management via applying an approach called concept composition. Regarding this, when two concepts are composed, the corresponding nodes in the ontologies of their Basics, become subject to conjunction using some rules. The new ontology obtained in this way, can be proposed as an alternative concept for future applications. The proposed approach can, in the meantime, be used successfully for visualizing enterprise concepts from the viewpoint of other concepts; a fact which is quite essential to enterprise knowledge management.
