Human resource skill management in company networks

In this paper a model for human resource skill management is introduced The idea is to support human resource management, knowledge management and production management with a detailed skill model. For that purpose a brief literature study was performed to position the model against these emerging management theories. Based on the findings in the study it was then possible to investigate how this type of models should be designed. In order to capture domain specific knowledge it is suggested to use an ontology based model architecture. The paper also discusses the first test of this concept. In this test an information model was implemented in the so called INNOMET advisory system, a system for human resource knowledge management.
