Ontology-Based Knowledge Mapping of University Teaching Activities

This paper focuses on the ontological engineering of academic work performed by university faculty, introducing a novel approach to knowledge management.The developed ontologies serve as the foundation for knowledge maps, which aim to simplify information retrieval and processing, enabling the creation of a clear and visual "portrait" of a specific faculty member or university department.A key aspect of this visualization is the creation of accessible and intuitive graphical representations, which helps users to quickly grasp complex relationships and information flow.The proposed approach contributes to enhancing knowledge management within educational institutions by providing structured and accessible representations of intellectual capital.In addition, preliminary reflections highlight the need for systematic evaluation metrics such as time savings, reduction in search efforts, and user satisfaction scores, which will guide the long-term assessment of the framework.This is particularly important in the context of information overload, where knowledge compression through structured visualization is crucial for improving comprehension and efficiency.
