Abstract (EN): The development of ontologies to unify and to put into context the different concepts and terms of the traditional and locally colored construction industry domains is a necessary step to avoid misinterpretations and inefficient communication. The KNOW-CONSTRUCT project, as an approach to this task, decided to re-use existing ontologies, classification systems, and other semantic resources to develop a system for the integration, management, and reuse of the area specific knowledge via a common knowledge base to consolidate and provide access to integrated knowledge, making community emergent knowledge a significant added value. The Know-Construct project' intends to improve the effectiveness of the Construction Industry (CI) SME's (Small and Medium Enterprise) by improving and extending the relationship with their customers through an innovative support regarding information and knowledge about products, processes and associated issues. © 2006 Copyright
