Ontology in the core of information management: information management in infrastructure building

Information explosion sets challenges for companies but on the other hand offers opportunities to achieve competitive advantage through successful information management. Semantic interoperability solutions and ontologies especially, offer a powerful tool for information management. Ontologies provide a way to integrated disparate information sources in complex environment. Large scale infrastructure building process is extremely challenging assignment which successful follow through requires tool for effective information management. Earlier research presented a prototype implementation called Dynamic Site Control Centre (DSCC) for road construction process management. In this paper the formation and structure of ontology for the prototype implementation is described.
