Semantic Technology for Publication Metadata Management
This event took place on Thursday 29 June 2006 at 14:00

 
Peter Mika Vrije (Free) University, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Publication metadata is widely distributed on the Web across a variety of sources. A number of independent repositories (CiteSeer, DBLP etc.) provide varying qualities of information. Publishers of journals and proceedings also manage and expose metadata in a variety of ways. At the same time individual authors maintain their own private collections of bibliography listing their own works and items of interest.

Large, messy, distributed settings call for Semantic Web technology. In this presentation I try to give an overview of the problems and possible solutions of managing this complexity based on our own work on openacademia.org and work done by various organizations including Ingenta and the Nature Publishing Group.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
