About this Course
This course aims to introduce the student to the concepts related to material management and the basic functions of organization, categorization, and management (retrieval) of information. The course material is tailored to cover information management issues and knowledge management on activities in the field of recyclable businesses.
In the five sections of the course we will cover the following topics: An introduction to the relevant terminology on resource management. We then cover concepts such as knowledge bases and knowledge management systems with a particular emphasis to ontologies. The main applications of industrial symbiosis are presented with the lessons learned from their experience. In this vein ontologies are used to describe the basic concepts and properties of the organizations participating in an industrial symbiosis platform and a graph based semantic similarity measure is introduced. The fourth section analyses the basic elements of the matchmaking tool and in particular the details of the semantic-based similarity algorithm. Finally, the data and industrial processes adapted to an IS platform will be studied.
