Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual approach to enhance knowledge management by synchronizing mind maps and fuzzy cognitive maps. Using mind maps takes advantage of human creativity, while fuzzy cognitive maps can store and retrieve information expressed in natural language. Applying the concepts of cognitive computing makes it possible to gather and extract relevant information from a data pool. Therefore, this approach is intended to provide a framework that enhances knowledge management. To demonstrate the potential of this framework, a use case concerning the development of a smart city app is presented.
