Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims at constructing the supporting system for knowledge transfer and inheritance by means of ontology. First, I constructed the ontology reflected by the ontological framework of the social-ecological systems based on the sustainability science ontology. Second, I encoded the text information extracted from both the case of the round table on local business development in Takashima City and the case of the Satoyama activity in Kizugawa City. Third, I organized the encoded data as class concepts, and incorporated these concepts into the subclass of the constructed ontology. This work realized the explicit distinction between the reusable knowledge and the area characteristic knowledge. Finally, I implemented the website linkage between these cases through the constructed ontology.
