Collaborative Ontologies and Its Visualisation in CSCW Systems.
Michael Vonrueden, Thorsten Hampel · 2005
Abstract: The goal of semantic structures and especially the semantic web is to simplify knowledge retrieval in computer based systems. The Visual Cooperative Ontology Environment- short visCOntE- aims to support the process of a collaborative ontology creation and the mapping of an individual’s mental map into a computer based knowledge representation. Due to the collaborative and graphical approach many requirements have to be considered to establish such a project. Beneath a deep description of visCOntE and possible usage scenarios, the question what is needed for a successful collaborative ontology creation and which functions a system should make available will be determined in detail. 1
