    © 2015 IEEE. With the widespread adoption of social (aka Web 2.0) technologies like social networks, blogs, and wikis, there is a growing interest in looking into how enterprises should capitalize on these technologies. The social enterprise is the one that on top of having an online presence on the Internet, strives to open up new communication channels with stakeholders using social technologies. Building upon previous works on social business processes and on practical experiences on adopting such technologies in different Brazilian companies, this paper suggests an architecture and guiding framework for the social enterprise in terms of how to bridge the gap between the business world and social world and how to integrate social technologies into the enterprise\u27s day-to-day operations

    AbstractToday new researches create a considerable amount of knowledge and scientific expertise related to health problem. There is a need to constantly update their professional knowledge base that enable them to face the diversity and “adversity” of the health process in the daily routine. Within this wealth of information is almost impossible to less experienced health professionals store all specific knowledge of their areas, and there is still the problem of difficulty of fast and easy access to knowledge in health, because this knowledge is mainly internalized in people minds and are not explicitly organized and documented. The use of ontologies is a proposal to represent knowledge in a more rich and detailed way and is a very interesting way to share and reuse formally represented knowledge. Ontology is a representation that can be understood by humans and processed by computers; it is useful to define the common and mathematically based vocabulary in which shared knowledge is represented. This paper describes the development of an ontology to represent part of the Brazilian knowledge in the Primary Health Care and creates a semantic web system to serve as a basis for health professionals better control their routine activities and serves as an information source for health professionals
