Organisations leverage past events as strategically reconstructed "history," yet two challenges persist: divergent interpretations among members, and the difficulty of structuring vast, tacit experiences into reusable form. This study proposes a Strategic Organisational Experience Utilisation Ontology that separates perceived events (Event) from the situation-dependent interpretations generated upon them (InterpretationStatement / InterpretationAct), retaining each interpretation alongside its generative conditions — organisational role, elicitation situation, and referenced evidence. Inter-event relationships are stored not as fixed structures but as EventRelationAssertions, enabling causal reasoning across experiences. Designed to interoperate with PROV-O, HiCO, and the Organization Ontology, the framework transforms organisational pasts into strategically exploitable resources while preserving polyphonic interpretations without convergence.
