Abstract

As knowledge increases tremendously each and every day, there is a need for means to manage and organize it, so as to utilize it when needed. For example, for finding solutions to technical/engineering problems. An alternative for achieving this goal is through knowledge mapping that aims at indexing the knowledge. Nevertheless, searching for knowledge in such maps is still a challenge. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for knowledge searching over maps created by ME-MAP, a mapping approach we developed. The algorithm is a greedy one that aims at maximizing the similarity between a query and existing knowledge encapsulated in ME-maps. We evaluate the efficiency of the algorithm in comparison to an expert judgment. The evaluation indicates that the algorithm achieved high performance within a bounded time. Though additional examination is required, the sought algorithm can be easily adapted to other modeling languages for searching models.
