Abstract

Knowledge-intensive work consists of the reception, interpretation, and structuring of information; the explicit articulation of mostly unstructured data in suitable representations. Further it comprises the sharing, exchange, and discussion of such resources with other people. The way people proceed is significantly influenced by the tools used – the personal workspace support and reflect the individual ways of information processing and knowledge sharing across organizational networks. This research paper illustrates an approach to foster collaboration and knowledge transfer by applying semantic technology. The main focus is about raising awareness for existing knowledge, or information that could lead to knowledge when addressing the right context and information worker. Prototyped clients and service hosts shall offer joint capability to improve his/her work performance by raising relevant information and - if applicable - at the right time.
