Description of six scenarios and of the results of six validated trials

Description of six scenarios and of the results of six validated trialsThis deliverable aims at presenting and analysing the processes of elaboration and validation of the PALETTE scenarios. After having defined these two processes and situated them into the PALETTE methodology, the scenarios are presented. For each scenario, the specific methodology of elaboration and validation is described with a special focus on the participation of the concerned Communities of Pratcice (CoPs). Then the results of the validation are presented as well as the reports of their technical feasability and the usability of PALETTE services from a user perspective. Finally we reflect on and we discuss about the whole process of validation of the scenarios and we describe the next steps towards the development of the scenarios and their trilas with the CoPs

Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Building Technology Enhanced Learning solutions for Communities of Practice Using a Semantic Wiki in Communities of Practice

Abstract. In this paper, we present a new wiki engine: SweetWiki, offering the capabilities of a wiki together with some knowledge management features. And we give preliminary results of its use by some Palette CoPs

CoP-dependent ontologies

PALETTE deliverable - report number D.KNO.02 -105 pagesThis deliverable describes the O'CoP ontology. It first presents the method used for building the ontology, and then details the results of each phase, as well as our return of experience for each step. The ontology obtained from analysis of information sources from eleven CoPs involved in Palette is composed of a concept hierarchy and a relation hierarchy, with concepts related to Community, Actor, Competency, Learner-profile, Collaboration, Process/Activity, Decision-making and Resource. We also describe the ECCO tool that supported the method, and our return of experience on its use

CoP-independent meta-ontologies and support ontologies

PALETTE deliverable - report number D.KNO.01 - 83 pagesThis deliverable offers a theoretical background on which the KM services will be based. It deals with the meta-models necessary for the Knowledge Management services and concerns the development and the choices of CoP-independent ontologies. The existing models for each main concept determined as important in a CoP are presented, the discussions on these models summarized and finally the proposal of the model adopted for Palette is presented

PALETTE : Extensions of O'CoP Ontology

This deliverable first analyzes some integration problems encountered during the integration of the O’CoP ontology that was developed by several ontologists. Then, we describe several experiments of development of CoP-specific ontologies · Natural Language processing (NLP) tools were used by Knowledge Management (KM) service developers for analyzing a corpus of e-mails of the @pretic CoP, so as to develop a “Technical Problem” ontology. We also reused an existing hierarchy in order to build the Ontopedia ontology. Last, the development of the ontologies “Human Problems” and “Learning and Teaching” for the @pretic CoP relied on brainstormings between the CoP mediator and the CoP members. · For the Form@Hetice CoP, the ontology was aimed at being used by the BayFac system offering service of document classification, and was developed by the service developers, with a validation by the Form@Hetice CoP mediator. · For Learn-Nett CoP, the ontology was also aimed at being used by the BayFac system, and was developed by the service developers and the CoP mediator (who was also a member of the CoP), with a continuous validation by a CoP focus group. · For the TFT CoP, tbe ontology was developed manually by the CoP mediator through a folksonomy obtained using tags on the CoP documents, according to social tagging approach. At the end of the deliverable, we compare these different ontologies with related work and we analyze them from reusability viewpoin

Specification of the CoP-oriented knowledge management tool offering basic CoP-adapted KM services

PALETTE deliverable - report number D.KNO.03 - 103 pagesThis deliverable proposes a preliminary specification of basic KM services interesting for CoPs. It describes their functionalities, their possible interfaces with other services and with the human user; as well as possible uses of these basic KM services by CoPs. Various tools available among the partners, that could offer some of these basic services, are presented. A web service-oriented architecture enabling to offer all such KM services in a modular way with possible interoperability with other Palette services or with some CoP tools, is proposed
