Abstract

Knowledge management is a key to creating efficiency and consistency within an organization. Title examiners review documents that may affect the issuance of title insurance. Some documents may affect many properties and thus are reviewed many times. This paper seeks to develop a framework that will enable the knowledge gained by the first review of the document to be captured and shared. Exploring the ontology of the title insurance industry with respect to title searching and examinations through the development of a concept map was the first step. Surveying the members of the title department provided the specifics for the framework. This study can be useful to any title insurance administrator that is seeking an ontology model for knowledge management.
