Usability of Knowledge Grid in Smart City Concepts

Knowledge grid (KG) is a promising concept of man-computer global infrastructure aimed at knowledge services, which is being gradually developed. Global infrastructure of modern cities needs to be supported by efficient information and communication technologies considered to be a specific ecosystem. The ultimate goal of this paper is to present ways of implementation KG as some sort of knowledge management in general concepts of smart city (SC). The paper is managed as follows. After short introduction concerning research context the discussed concepts of KG and SC are presented. In the main section real-life examples of SC implementation are investigated in order to identify and describe roles of KG approach in this area. It allows for formulation conclusions on intersection of two approaches investigated.
