Abstract
The aim of this paper is to build an ontology of organizations. This ontology will be used to analyze, reason and understand organizations. The targeted organizations are those composed of individuals involved in the design of a product and, to do so, following a design process. This ontology will be used to support knowledge management within the described organizations. More specifically, the ontology will provide means for reasoning, annotating resources, monitoring design processes, enabling searches and proactively proposing tips and proper content. The presented approach is based upon the use of an existing organizational metamodel, namely CRIO, already used for the description of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) organizations. In our case, the concepts of this metamodel are used to model human activities.
