Information overload is putting pressure on organisations to provide a better-quality service and improve agility. The key challenges for knowledge intensive organisations are how to identify, map, assimilate, disseminate, and apply knowledge, particularly the knowledge mapping of different users with incompatible perspectives and purposes. As part of this study we started the development of ontology based knowledge map which reflects faculty knowledge and delivers knowledge to various users with different perspectives and purposes. The faculty knowledge map is based on the triad of faculty activities: teaching, research and consulting.
As there is no methodology for faculty knowledge map development the paper focuses on the methods of developing such digital knowledge maps, forming a multidimensional knowledge portrait module that can be later integrated into knowledge management systems. Methods of ontology engineering are used for developing the conceptual models of the knowledge domain and faculty activities.
