This transformation cannot be fully achieved without a thorough mastery of individual expert knowledge, collaborative management, and knowledge formalization, as well as a complete adoption of new technologies. This paper proposes a methodological approach based on knowledge elicitation for the design of formal, consensual, and shared ontologies. A binomial analysis of the acceptability of digital technologies complements this process to better understand the requirements and concerns of experts and to propose appropriate solutions. The proposed approach is experimentally tested on industrial collaboration projects in the field of manufacturing (associating knowledge sources from multinational companies) and in the field of viticulture (associating explicit knowledge and implicit knowledge acquired through observation.}}
