The main problem : Training

• Fresh newcomers• Functioning as a team• Gearing up to new standards• Assimilating new domains of expertise

ideweKnowledge management

Goals :

• To capture the knowledge of multidisciplinary experts• To formalize this expertise into building components• To generate auditing applications with these components• To distribute these applications to the prevention teams• To guide and help our prevention teams observe & report their recommendations, registering their findings• To promote the improvement of prevention advice• To harvest valuable advice improvements• To refine our multidisciplinary prevention knowledge base

The JaWS project :

ICT-centered Knowledge Engineering
