In the new economy, innovation is regarded as
one of the solutions for almost every organisation to survive
in the new business era. Universities, especially in terms of
research activities, are no difference since they strive for
novelties which potentially lead to innovation. An
experienced researcher in the university has continually
created tacit knowledge in a specific domain, but typically
found it difficult to share this tacit knowledge among other
researchers for the problem solving purpose. To overcome
this problem and to better stimulate knowledge sharing
activities among university researchers, Knowledge
Management and Knowledge Engineering, particularly
KADS, are utilised in this paper to assist a group of different
domain researchers in putting their experiences together. In
this way, each researcher can make explicit his or her tacit
knowledge into KADS task, inference and domain
knowledge models. The structured knowledge models
captured from different researchers can then be merged
together. In this paper, the research in Knowledge
Management is selected as a case study, and the results show
that the relevant tacit knowledge has been made explicit from
a researcher and allow other researchers to share the
knowledge as well as to add their own knowledge. Hence,
their common research theme is effectively created, and also
maintained by a group of researchers.
