Acknowledgment xxiii Section I Introduction This section will help the reader to learn about the most common technologies and to be able to classify these technologies In addition, the reader will get a better understanding of why certain decisions about the usage of technologies have been made in the chapters of the subsequent sections These chapters give an introduction to technologies that can be used to develop semantic work environments (SWE) and present several R&D projects in which different technologies and related tools have been developed The authors compare these technologies using characteristics such as collaboration, communication, and so forth, and provide the reader with an overview of fundamental building blocks as well as development requirements for SWE development Chapter I Enabling Social Semantic Collaboration: Bridging the Gap Between Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web Sören Auer, University of Pennsylvania, USA Zachary G Ives, University of Pennsylvania, USA Sören Auer and Zachary Ives introduce the interrelation between two trends that semantic work environments rely on: Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web Both approaches aim at integrating distributed data and information to provide enhanced search, ranking, browsing, and navigation facilities for SWEs They present several research projects to show how both fields can lead to synergies for developing knowledge bases for the Semantic Web Chapter II Communication Systems for Semantic Work Environments 16 Thomas Franz, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Sergej Sizov, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Thomas Franz and Sergej Sizov point out that communication is one of the main tasks of a knowledge worker, as it denotes the exchange of information and the transfer of knowledge, making it vital for any collaborative human work The authors introduce different communication systems to indicate their different utilization and role in knowledge work They present requirements on communication for SWEs and compare conventional communication tools and channels with these requirements After presenting research work that contributes to the communication of knowledge work, they conclude with a visionary scenario about communication tools for future SWEs Chapter III Semantic Social Software: Semantically Enabled Social Software or Socially Enabled Semantic Web? 33 Sebastian Schaffert, Salzburg Research Forschungsgesellschaft, Austria Sebastian Schaffert continues the discussion of the synergies between Web 2.0/social web and the Semantic Web He introduces two perspectives on how Semantic Social Software can be reached: One perspective is semantically enabled social software, that is, the usage of semantic metadata to enhance existing social software The other perspective is a socially enabled Semantic Web, which means the usage of Social Software to create semantic metadata Three examplary applications of semantic social software (i.e., Semantic Wikis, Semantic Weblogs, and e-portfolios) are provided by the author for deriving outstanding aspects of Semantic Social Software Section II Semantic Work Environment Tools This section provides seven chapters that are more related to concrete realizations of SWEs—tools developed to support work environments and personal activities using semantic technologies These tools come from very different application domains such as oil drilling, journalism, and library help desk services, and motivate many application scenarios that exist for semantic work environments The chapters further extend the overview of technologies already provided in Section I Concrete architectures and platforms are presented for developing SWEs such as Semantic Wikis, Semantic Personal Knowledge Management systems, and Semantic Desktops Several chapters also elaborate on the topics of authoring and annotating content, refer to inference technologies such as case-based reasoning, or present visualization approaches to support the tagging, linking, or presentation of content in SWEs Chapter IV SWiM: A Semantic Wiki for Mathematical Knowledge Management 47 Christoph Lange, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany Michael Kohlhase, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany Christoph Lange and Michael Kohlhase present SWiM, a semantic Wiki for collaboratively building, editing, and browsing mathematical knowledge In this Wiki, the regular Wiki markup is replaced by a markup format and ontology language for mathematical documents SWiM represents a social semantic work environment, which facilitates the creation of a shared collection of mathematical knowledge Chapter V CoolWikNews: More than Meet the Eye in the 21st Century Journalism 69 Damaris Fuentes-Lorenzo, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain Juan Miguel Gómez, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain Ángel García Crespo, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain Damaris Fuentes Lorenzo, Juan Miguel Gómez, and Ángel García Crespo describe a semantic work environment for the collaborative creation of news articles, thus building a basis for citizen journalism Articles “within” this Wiki can be annotated using ontological metadata This metadata is then used to reward users in terms of advanced browsing and searching the newspapers and newspaper archives, in particular finding similar articles Faceted metadata and graphical visualizations help the user to find more accurate information and semantic related data when it is needed The authors state that the Wiki architecture is domain-independent and can be used for other domains apart from news publishing Chapter VI Improved Experience Transfer by Semantic Work Support 84 Roar Fjellheim, Computas AS, Norway David Norheim, Computas AS, Norway Roar Fjellheim and David Norheim describe the Active Knowledge Support for Integrated Operations (AKSIO) system that supports the experience transfer in operations of offshore oilfields AKSIO is an example of a SWE that provides information in a timely and context-aware manner Experience reports are processed and annotated by experts and linked to various resources and specialized knowledge networks The authors demonstrate how Semantic Web technology is an effective enabler of improved knowledge management processes in corporate environments Chapter VII A Semi-Automatic Semantic Annotation and Authoring Tool
