Organizations feel the increasing need to share and publish their knowledge amongst their employees in order to come to a shared understanding. The information captured in the Fact Oriented Models is a great resource to publish glossaries, ontologies, and taxonomies of the organization. Sharing all this information, all definitions and publishing this through the portal services the Single Point of Definition.
The Portal presents these in a way that allows technical and non-technical staff to understand the business knowledge; relaying it back to the domain experts makes the knowledge invaluable. All stakeholders in the organization are now able to tap into their published and well-documented wealth of knowledge.
