Development of the Method for the Appropriate Selection of the Successor by Applying Metadata to the Standardization Reports and Members

摘要

In businesses and organizations, it is difficult to find the successor for various activities by considering a person's knowledge and actual experience. In this study, we find the successor to a member of a standardization activity. By assigning metadata to profiles and annual activity reports of members engaged in standardization activities, the relationship between the profiles and the annual activity reports is described as an RDF graph and visualized with nodes and links. This paper has two objectives. Objective-1 is the development and evaluation of a method to design the best combination of search queries to discover an appropriate successor. Objective-2 is the proposal and evaluation of an easy and understandable visualization method of the successor search results obtained in objective-1. The proposed procedure nominates candidates for the successor effectively and the results are visualized in the case study.
