Construction and Application of NCREE Information and Knowledge Services

Construction and Application of NCREE Information and Knowledge Services

In order to manage and disseminate the accumulated knowledge and experiment experience from NCREE, this work developed helpers for knowledge management, constructed information service systems that are needed, and extended the functionalities of the existing information systems to meet the new requirements. For NCREE’s knowledge management, the ontology for earthquake engineering was developed. Considering ontology could enable communication between computers, far more effective sharing of knowledge becomes possible. On the other hand, to preserve and manage NCREE’s experiment data and knowledge, this work developed the experiment flow management system that cooperates with two already-online systems(NCREE experiment online-application system and NCREE Data Center) to provide more complete experiment services than before. Besides, the service extent of the conference website manage system was expanded from the NCREE employees to faculties outside NCREE. Also the NCREE video database was constructed to provide users with the online query for the international training programs that NCREE held in 2005 and 2006.
