We will discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted.</span><br><br><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: transparent; font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: transparent; font-size: 10pt;">This workshop will focus on the theoreticians and practitioners concerned with developing methods and systems that assist the knowledge management process and assessing the suitability of such methods. Thus, the workshop includes all aspects of acquiring, modelling and managing knowledge, and their role in the construction of knowledge-based systems. Knowledge acquisition still remains the bottleneck for building a knowledge based system. Reuse and sharing of knowledge bases are major issues and no satisfactory solutions have been agreed upon yet.</span><br><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: transparent; font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: transparent; font-size: 10pt;">There is a wide range of research. Much of the work in this field has been knowledge acquisition. The advent of the age of digital information has brought the problem of knowledge reuse and knowledge evaluation. Our ability to analyze, evaluate and assist user in reusing knowledge present a great challenge of the next years. A new generation of computational techniques and tools is required to support the acquisition, the reuse and the evaluation of useful knowledge from the rapidly growing volume of information. All of these are to be discussed in this workshop.</span><span> </span><br><br><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: transparent; font-size: small;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;
