AbstractIn this paper we present a semantics-based infrastructure to support planning and monitoring of innovation related activities in a Virtual Enterprise context. We address the problem of knowledge management and interoperability in environments where information is often fragmented and heterogeneous. To this end, we propose a knowledge repository and management infrastructure, called Production and Innovation Knowledge Repository (PIKR), providing a set of reference ontologies to semantically describe enterprise knowledge resources, and semantics-based services for accessing and reasoning over such descriptions. We also give an overview of the implementation of the PIKR that is being carried on in the BIVEE European project.
