Knowledge Representation, Thesauri, Topics Maps
Knowledge management is a core issue in project management. In a special research stream we deal with knowledge representation to improve knowledge management in projects.

One aspect is the classification of many kinds of documents regarding the content and the application of knowledge. Classification starts with Dewey Decimal Classification and goes on with keyword list developed for special applications. Based upon such approaches thesauri for project management are developed - a first case deals with a thesaurus for conference management.

Research in this area follows a multi-disciplinary approach embedding lingusitics, logic, concept lattices, semantic networks, classification, knowledge representation, etc.

Thesauri with their entity types, entities, occurences, and relations and associations are embedded in topic maps.

Results are discusssed in international conferences.
