Semantic Web Dog Food

Presented at: 7th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2008)

by Paul Warren, Jose Manuel Gomez-Perez

Knowledge workers are central to an organisation’s success – yet the tools they must use often stand in the way of maximising their productivity. ACTIVE (http://www.active-project.eu), an EU FP7 integrating project, addresses the need for greater knowledge worker productivity with three integrated research themes: easier sharing of information through combining the ease-of-use of folksonomies with the richness of formal ontologies; sharing and reusing informal knowledge processes, by automatically learning those processes from the user’s behaviour and describing the processes semantically; and using machine learning techniques to describe the user’s context semantically and thereby tailor the information presented to the user to fit the current task. The results of ACTIVE are relevant to all knowledge work; they are being validated in the domains of consultancy, telecommunications and engineering.

Keywords: Ontologies, folksonomies, knowledge processes, task context
