Abstract
The paper is devoted to knowledge logistics problems. Knowledge logistics with regard to individual user requirements, available knowledge sources, and current situation analysis in an open information environment addresses problems of intelligent support of user activities. Knowledge logistics is guided by the principles underlying both Web services and Semantic Web as understandability of knowledge representation both to humans and machines, enabling knowledge sharing and reuse, ensuring intellectual support, etc. The paper describes an approach to knowledge logistics problem based on ontology-driven methodology and constraint satisfaction / propagation technology. Compatibility of object-oriented constraint network notation with DAML+OIL formalism is considered. Applicability of the approach to actual content is illustrated through a case study based on Binni scenario of humanitarian coalition-based operation.
