Knowledge capturing and reusing are major processes of knowledge management that deal with the elicitation of valuable knowledge via some techniques and methods for use in actual and further studies, projects, services, or products. The construction industry, as well, adopts and uses some of these concepts to improve various construction processes and stages. From pre-design to building delivery knowledge management principles and briefing frameworks have been implemented across project stakeholders: client, design teams, construction teams, consultants, and facility management teams. At pre-design and design stages, understanding the client’s needs and users’ knowledge are crucial for identifying and articulating the expected requirements and objectives. Due to underperforming results and missed goals and objectives, many projects finish with highly dissatisfied clients and loss of contracts for some organizations. Knowledge capturing has beneficial effects via its principles and methods on requirement elicitation and validation at the briefing stage between user, client and designer. This paper presents the importance and usage of knowledge capturing and reusing in briefing process at pre-design and design stages especially the involvement of client and user, and explores the techniques and technologies that are usable in briefing process for requirement elicitation.

A Method and tool support for integrated business process modeling and ontology development
Coşkunçay, Ahmet; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2016)
From knowledge management point of view, business process models and ontologies are two essential knowledge artifacts for organizations that consume similar information sources. In this sense, building and managing the relationships between ontologies and business process models provide benefits such as enhanced semantic quality of both artifacts and effort savings. A method and tool support could guide integrated business process modeling and ontology building, and therefore enhance their semantic quality ...
A data-driven requirement elicitation system for pre-project stage
Çalışkan, Ekrem Bahadır; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2022-12-20)
Requirement knowledge of a building project is the set of crucial statements governing all processes to achieve success by matching the objectives. Briefing is the process of capturing and identifying requirements with the involvement of project stakeholders. Various improvements on deficiencies and gaps, developments on technology, and definitions on frameworks for briefing have been explored and examined worldwide over the past three decades. Knowledge capturing is one of the major processes of knowledge ...
A method for integrated business process modeling and ontology development
COŞKUNÇAY, Ahmet; Demirörs, Onur (2022-04-01)
Purpose From knowledge management point of view, business process models and ontologies are two essential knowledge artifacts for organizations that consume similar information sources. In this study, the PROMPTUM method for integrated process modeling and ontology development that adheres to well-established practices is presented. The method is intended to guide practitioners who develop both ontologies and business process models in the same or similar domains. Design/methodology/approach The method is s...
Knowledge discovery in microarray data of bioinformatics
Kocabaş, Fahri Salih; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Health Informatics (2012)
This thesis analyzes major microarray repositories and presents a metadata framework both to address the current issues and to promote the main operations such as knowledge discovery, sharing, integration, and exchange. The proposed framework is demonstrated in a case study on real data and can be used for other high throughput repositories in biomedical domain. Not only the number of microarray experimentation increases, but also the size and complexity of the results rise in response to biomedical inquiri...
Knowledge-Based Portfolio Management: A Taxonomy for Lessons Learned
Eken, Görkem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2017-07-29)
Portfolio management comprises of identifying, prioritizing, authorizing, managing, and controlling projects, programs, and other related work to achieve specific strategic business objectives. Utilizing a knowledge-based portfolio management approach can be a critical success factor for construction companies. This research aims to present a taxonomy to facilitate the learning process within a knowledge-based project portfolio management system. The taxonomy is capable of codification and classification of...
