Tackling the Curse of Prepayment – Collaborative Knowledge Formalization Beyond Lightweight
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper argues for collaborative incremental augmentation of text retrieval as an approach that can be used to immediately show the benefits of relatively heavyweight knowledge formalization in the context of Web 2.0 style collaborative knowledge formalization. Such an approach helps to overcome the “Curse of Prepayment”; i.e. the hitherto necessary very large initial investment in formalization tasks before any benefit of Semantic Web technologies is visible. Some initial ideas about the architecture of such a system are presented and it is placed within the overall emerging trend of “people powered search”.

knowledge production through collaborative management research
Recently, literature around the theme of collaborative management research has grown considerably. According to the definition of collaborative management research, two components are connected to each other in this context; managers of organizations and academic researchers. In literature, many authors claim that the relationship between these two components could lead to significant advantage...
متن کاملAn Efficient Knowledge Transfer Solution to a Novel SMDP Formalization of a Broker's Decision Problem
Retail and wholesale broker’s decision problems have been optimized separately, ignoring the probable existence of a globally optimal trading strategy. To address this, we propose a novel formalization, based on a semi-Markov decision process (SMDP) and solved using hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) in multi-agent environments. Furthermore, to mitigate the curse of dimensionality, which...
متن کاملThe Effects of Collaborative and Individual Output Tasks on Learning English Collocations
One of the most problematic areas in foreign language learning is collocation. It is often seen as arbitrary and an overwhelming obstacle to the achievement of nativelike fluency. Current second language (L2) instruction research has encouraged the use of collaborative output tasks in L2 classrooms. This study examined the effects of two types of output tasks (editing and cloze) on the learni...
متن کاملManaging the Complementarity of Knowledge Integration and Process Formalization for Systems Development Performance
Systems development processes have received significant negative publicity due to failed projects, often at large costs, and performance issues that continue to plague IS managers. This study complements existing systems development research by proposing a knowledge management perspective for managing tacit and explicit knowledge in the systems development process. Specifically, it proposes tha...
متن کاملSupporting Incremental Formalization in Collaborative Learning Environments
Arguing that a varying level of formality needs to be offered in systems supporting collaborative learning, this paper proposes an incremental formalization approach that has been adopted in the development of CoPe_it!, a web-based tool that complies with collaborative principles and practices to provide members of communities with the appropriate means to manage individual and collective knowl...
