Group Discovery in a Collaborative Tagging System

Project Report A Simple Knowledge Organisation Tool

In Knowledge Representation, a field interested in storing and reasoning about information contained in ontologies, there is good support for the final stages of ontology creation, such as adding logical definitions and finding inferences, but little support for the early creation stages, such as deciding on the structure of the ontology. In this report the creation of a Simple Knowledge Organi...

Collaborative Tagging of Knowledge and Learning Resources

This research paper reports part of a larger international study that employs collaborative tagging for effectively describing knowledge and learning resources (KLR) in an institutionalised setting. The number of these resources has increased enormously within organisations over time and with an increasing variety of quality standards, maturity and granularity of resources, the description of c...
