Abstract
The AWAKE project explores possibilities for supporting the exchange of knowledge in communities of practice that connect experts from different disciplines. The point of departure is that knowledge consists largely of a very personal and partly unconscious component: tacit knowledge. The challenge is finding ways for capturing, visualising and making usable this existing but not explicitly formulated knowledge of a group of users.
To this end a model of learning knowledge maps for semantic exploration of information spaces and the exchange of expert knowledge based on capturing implicit knowledge has been developed. The resulting system enables unobtrusive capturing of personal views based on user interaction with information. These views are learned through classification agents and can be applied to arbitrary information resources. The personalised knowledge maps are merged into a collaborative concept network and a shared ontology that connect knowledge across different groups of users.
This solution integrates techniques for self-organised clustering, supervised learning and collaborative filtering with methods for metadata generation and collaborative creation of ontologies and topic maps. Theses functions are combined with visualisation models for large data sets and with intuitive user interfaces. The result is an integrated knowledge discovery tool (Knowledge Explorer) that enables the construction of personalised knowledge portals and communities of practice that connect knowledge from different fields of expertise.
