Ontology Based Patterns for Collaborative Process Management.
Nikos Papageorgiou, Yiannis Verginadis, Dimitris Apostolou, Gregoris N. Mentzas · 2010
Collaboration within and between organisations requires knowledge and skills that collaborating partners do not always possess. In an effort to capture best practice collaboration knowledge, we propose patterns as models of repeatable collaboration processes for recurring high-value collaborative tasks. We present a pattern-based approach, associated ontology and tool which act as a platform that can intelligently match collaboration contexts and requirements to collaboration patterns, make intelligent inferences about applying patterns to solve problems at successive levels of abstraction and recommend either workflows or less structured actions as solutions to collaboration contexts.
