对与工业生态有关的技术和过程进行综合环境评价需要分享来自广泛研究领域的专家知识。提出了一个基于互联网的平台的概念，该平台利用互联网和通信技术以数值模型计算服务的形式支持知识共享，以解决与城市生态系统等大规模系统相关的复杂问题。本文描述了一个用于共享和发现与工业生态相关领域的专家知识的软件原型。该原型采用通用的上层本体和特定的领域本体相结合的方式，为知识请求与知识广告的搜索和匹配过程提供语义层。知识广告以计算模型服务能力的语义描述形式提供。该原型使用多代理系统来支持互联网上分布式知识共享市场的实现，该市场由发布模型服务的代理、代表系统用户发出请求的代理、提供本体的代理、代表其他代理进行搜索的代理、以及为其他代理管理地址和功能存储库的代理组成。提供了原型的概念验证演示，使用世界各地四位研究人员的假设场景，他们的知识可以帮助彼此的研究工作。
Integrated environmental assessment of technologies and processes associated with industrial ecology requires the sharing of expert knowledge from a wide range of domains of research. A concept for an Internet‐based platform that uses Internet and communication technologies to support knowledge sharing in the form of numerical model computational services for solving complex problems related to large‐scale systems such as urban ecosystems has been proposed. Here, a software prototype that has been developed for sharing and discovery of expert knowledge from domains related to industrial ecology is described. The prototype uses the combination of a generic upper level ontology and a specific domain level ontology to provide a semantic layer for the process of searching and matching knowledge requests with knowledge advertisements. Knowledge advertisements are provided in the form of semantic descriptions of computational model service capabilities. The prototype uses a multiagent system to support the realization of a distributed knowledge‐sharing marketplace on the Internet, populated by agents that advertise model services, agents that make requests on behalf of system users, agents that supply ontologies, agents that conduct searches on behalf of other agents, and agents that manage address and function repositories for other agents. A proof of concept demonstration of the prototype is provided, using a hypothetical scenario of four researchers around the world who have knowledge that could aid each other's research efforts.
