Knowledge Life Cycle Management as a Key Aspect of Digitalization

Digital transformation of organizations became a significant research and engineering challenge worldwide. Implementing such a transformation requires not only a change in the technical equipment of the enterprise, but also developing new methods of knowledge life cycle management which include extraction of individual, interpersonal or organizational knowledge to explicit machine-readable forms and their conscious application during enterprise reengineering. Successful accomplishment of these tasks vitally relies on a rigorous scientific theory and formal methods. This work presents a new approach to knowledge life cycle management of different forms of knowledge based on combination of ontology engineering and evolvable domain-specific languages.
