DFKI GmbH (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence), Kaiserslautern, Germany

The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence DFKI GmbH, with sites in Kaiserslautern and Saarbr¸cken, is the leading German research institute in the field of innovative software technology. In the international scientific community, the DFKI is among the important "Centers of Excellence". The Knowledge Management department, directed by Prof. Dr. Andreas Dengel, develops innovative AI-based technologies to support the management of data, information and knowledge in companies.

The skills of the group comprise the know-how of the two former departments Document Analysis and Intelligent Enginieering Systems that have been merged into one group. Hence the experiences range from image based document analysis technologies such as segmentation on various object-levels, model based and model free labeling, general information retrieval tasks like classification and content extraction, abstracting, passage retrieval, etc. towards formalisation of knowledge, modeling of domain ontologies to facilitate high level inferencing on the data. The research of the group is driven by the vision of an organisational memory.

During this project, the Knowledge Management department provides consultancy services especially in the area of ontology modelling. DFKI also provides technical infrastructure and development resources.
