SocioTM - Relevancies, Collaboration, and Socio-knowledge in Topic Maps
Sasha Rudan, Sinisha Rudan · 2008
Abstract. Topic Maps (TM) standard solved a lot of problems in the information overload. With a semantic layer on the top of the existing data pools, TMs provide information interpretation and organization. However, user interaction with technology is still undeveloped and too explicit. This paper introduces SocioTM model; an extension of TM paradigm that includes relevancies, collaboration, and socio-knowledge (user-specific knowledge / behaviors). Paper goes through relevancies implementation in SocioTM; relevancies building and population; relevancies interpretation, presentation; and navigation through SocioTM. Relevancies are introduced both on topic/ontology level and information (occurrences) level. Paper concludes with collaboration involvement in SocioTM building and with migration of socio-knowledge.
