ORGANIZATIONAL KNOWLEDGE PATTERNS - Definition and Characteristics

Kurt Sandkuhl

2011

Abstract

The importance of managing organizational knowledge for enterprises has been recognized since decades. Enterprise knowledge modeling contributes to this subject by offering methods, tools and approaches for capturing knowledge in formalized models supporting the lifecycle of organizational knowledge management. The paper focuses on reuse of organizational knowledge in different organizational contexts by using patterns. We argue that organizational knowledge patterns have to combine technical and cognitive qualities in order to support organizational knowledge creation and IT-supported knowledge reuse. The contributions of the paper are (1) to define of the term organizational knowledge pattern in relation to other pattern types, (2) to identify characteristics of such patterns, and (3) to examine two established pattern types from knowledge engineering to expose the key features of organizational knowledge patterns.
