5. 3 interlocking research strands sharing processes & sharing in processes Knowledge processes using context within processes & processes to understand context Knowledge sharing sharing knowledge in context & sharing context Task context

6. Knowledge sharing Marrying the formal and informal approaches to knowledge representation • Ontologies • - rich representations permit reasoning, but with a creation and maintenance cost • Folksonomies • - no overhead cost, but limited knowledge representation capability

7. Task context Delivering information in context Information glut leads to overload and constant task-switching • Context-driven solutions • learning & using context • understanding priorities

8. Knowledge processes Reusing and sharing knowledge processes informal – created by their users dynamic – anyone can modify Learn, codify, reuse and share … modify & share again

9. Bringing the strands together More than the sum of 3 parts! Sharing in context - & using tags to identify and share context Taking account of context within processes - & using processes to understand context Sharing processes - & sharing within processes

10. The Knowledge Workspace - alongside existing applications

11. kea-pro ACTIVE in the Organisation Knowledge-sharing - costs, benefits and incentives Validating against the user’s needs Validating against the organisation’s needs

12. Validating with case studies Sales and technical support adding value to work processes Global consultants understanding scale Electronics design specialist processes

13. Training - summer schools, on-line learning … Realising the value Dissemination to researchers, industrialist, decision-makers by all ACTIVEpartners Commercial exploitation by ACTIVE commercial partners
