abstract

  • In current organisations, the importance of knowledge and competence is unquestionable. In a scenario in which knowledge workers perform their duties in knowledge-intensive organisations, mentoring has emerged as an
    efficient practice for the development of these personnel. On the other
    hand, the convergence of information technology (IT) and communication
    technologies and the rapid evolution of the internet has been one of the
    most influential factors in human resources management, and the advent
    of semantic technologies presents novel opportunities for the
    improvement of personnel development, including semantics. This study
    presents a solution based on semantic technologies which utilises
    different personal and professional data to carry out pair matching of
    mentors and protégés.
