Deadline for submissions: February 15, 2009


Knowledge management has gained enough bad press over the years to no longer be considered the silver bullet for solving problems in large organizations. Should we blame the technologies applied to that domain or was it simply a misunderstanding of the term? Recent years have brought many interesting solutions where information is simply searched for using simple keyword-based search; communities of users transform information into knowledge by discovering, augmenting, sharing and putting it into use. Semantic technologies that did not make it to be called the Web 2.0 are now ready to unveil their full potential; more and more information is produced in a machine understandable way and more and more interesting services are empowered by this information.

Will Web 3.0 be another hype term or can new services like Twine or digi.me really show the full potential of the combined power of social and semantic services? Can wide adoption of metadata standards like SIOC (Semantically Interlinked Online Communities), SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization Systems) or FOAF (Friend of a Friend) help to deliver ample of semantics originating from community services? What is more - can we harness these technologies and build new, better solutions to knowledge management?

This workshop aims to bring together people who seek and research solutions for knowledge management; especially those, who show how semantic and social technologies can be used in this context. We would like to invite researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia to submit original results of their completed or ongoing projects. We encourage broad understanding of possible approaches to build knowledge management solutions; these could be, but are not limited, to social and semantic technologies, mobile computing, research on human-computer interaction and knowledge organization systems. We would like to discuss how new technologies for knowledge management can impact project management and business models.

The workshop will be concluded with 30 minutes "lightning talk" session where bright ideas and harsh comments can be presented in short, 5 minute slots. Talks will be followed by the conclusions session (ca. 30 min) to discuss further development of knowledge management and Web 3.0.

Topics

  • Social and semantic services for digital libraries
  • Finding experts in the semantic social networks
  • Informal (social) learning and knowledge sharing in organizations
  • Designing workflows and processes for knowledge creating and sharing
  • Methods and business foundations for knowledge in B2B
  • Folksonomies vs controlled vocabularies in social knowledge management
  • Formal ontologies vs community established taxonomies in knowledge management
  • Utilizing semantics produced from social services (community portals, social networks)
  • Supporting information discovery, management and sharing
  • Ubiquitous knowledge management: instant messaging, mobile computing
  • Human-computer interaction (HCI) for next generation knowledge management
  • Infrastructure challenges for social semantic services
  • Agile project management and social semantic services
  • Business models for Web 3.0-empowered knowledge management
  • Empowering knowledge management in corporate information systems with Web 3.0
  • Supporting business intelligence with communities involvement and semantics services

Submission

  • Long papers: max. 12 pages
  • Work-in-progress reports: max. 6 pages
  • Demo papers: max. 4 pages

Submission system is available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kmweb309.

Papers approved for presentation at KM-WEB3 2009 will be published in BIS 2009 workshop proceedings, as a volume in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series.

Workshop format


The workshop will facilitate a number of full paper (20 min presentations followed by 10 min Q&A) together with a few short and position papers (10 min presentation followed by 5 min Q&A). We will close the workshop with up to 6 talks (max 5 minutes each) followed by 30 min moderated discussion on the future of Web 3.0 technologies and their impact on further development of knowledge management solutions.

All authors of accepted papers as well as other participants will be asked to read accepted papers abstracts before the workshop (papers will be available on-line in advance) to facilitate discussion. Workshop participants will be also invited to take part in the BIS conference and other BIS workshops.
