Abstract

Studying territorial knowledge can increase decision-makers’ information when considering sustainable development implementation. Enterprises consider territorial resources in terms of sustainability when selecting a location. This paper proposes a territorial ontology to help the enterprise and organizations to capture the territorial resources when they want to integrate these resources into their activities for sustainable development. This application ontology tested in three organization of sustainable development to validate the usability of it. These tests validate that territorial application ontology enhances strategic decision making for sustainability. Moreover, the ontology of the domain of DOKT, as a guide, provides to capture the territorial knowledge of every geographic territory. Also, this paper suggests ongoing research for visualization of territorial knowledge on the site for the usage of all enterprises and organizations.
