The Knowledge Management Translator for Industry Commons -The Second Expert Meeting

 

  • to

As outcome of the first Expert Meeting on the Translator role in Industry Commons we introduced a new role in the field of semantic knowledge management which we call Translator in Knowledge Management for Innovation.

The purpose of the role is to support materials and manufacturing industry in realising the potential benefits for semantic technologies in their organisation and beyond, for example in co-innovation with other organisations.

The Knowledge Management Translator bridges business and R&D and helps to shape purposeful, meaningful and traceable communication (exchange of information) in between humans as well as machines. His goal is to move from data to managed knowledge that is actionable for innovation. We envisage that such communication will lead to harmonisation across the boundaries of the wide range individual domains and disciplines interacting in these fields. Current divisions and silos mean that there is a huge untapped value not just in terms of ‘lost’ data but also stakeholder knowledge, which currently is not well captured. Communication is hindered and meaning lost in translation.

The Knowledge Management Translator will work with materials and manufacturing domain experts as well as data scientists and knowledge engineers to shape data in order to express knowledge. The job of the Knowledge Management Translator is to bring together and orchestrate people, tools, and processes to achieve this.
