Abstract: In order to meet the requirements for better sharing and reuse of product configuration knowledge in enterprise knowledge network when the product configuration systems are more Webbased, the ideas and methods of Web2.0 were introduced into product configuration knowledge management. A description model of product configuration knowledge based on adapter pattern was put forward to bring the staff of enterprise into the accumulation and ordering process of product configuration knowledge. Furthermore, the framework of Web2.0based product configuration knowledge management system was presented, the characteristic of the system in all phases of knowledge management was described. The selforganization technology and intelligent recommendation technology of product configuration knowledge were researched based on the production structure model and tagging. Finally, a software system was developed for the knowledge management of loader configuration design.The reseach results indicate that Web2.0based product configuration knowledge management promotes the sharing and reuse of configuration knowledge in enterprise.
