Ideas and presentations from conferences I visited, on community/knowledge mapping (see other themes).
It’s difficult to draw the line between community and knowledge mapping: in most cases you want to know not only who is there and what they are talking about, but more precisely who knows what. The two themes are here just for an indication of where most effort goes in a specific case.
Community mapping
SELaKT – Social Network Analysis as a method for expert localisation and sustainable knowledge transfer by Tobias Mueller-Prothmann and Ina Finke at I-KNOW
- abstract (and link to full-text if you are ready to pay), presentation
- really interesting presentation that I managed to miss; on SNA applied in KM context
Blogosphere community formation, structure and visualization by Juan J. Merelo, Beatriz Prieto, Fernando Tricas at BlogTalk 2.0
- abstract, presentation (OpenOffice format which I wasn’t able to open), wiki notes
- SNA (+tools) overview, results of analysis of Spanish weblogs
- if you are into SNA on weblogs talk to these guys!
Applying Social Network Analysis to a small Weblog Community: Hubs, Power Laws, the Ego Effect and the Evolution of Social Networks by Michael Schuster
- abstract, wiki notes
- bit of theory + case: community dynamics in (relatively closed) (relatively small) weblog community
Knowledge mapping
Supporting drug discovery research through knowledge modelling and integration by Edy S. Liongosari, Anatole V. Gershman & Mitu Singh at I-KNOW KM/learning track
- nothing is online so far, but you can check older presentation (3.1MB!) that gives an idea or check other publications
- interesting work on creating interconnected maps based on data from different sources…
Shared Conceptualizations in Weblogs by Anjo Anjewierden, Rogier Brussee and me
- abstract, presentation, wiki notes, my weblog post with incoming links
- generating networks of keywords (~conceptualisations) from weblog data
Ideas from MILK: multimedia interactions for learning and knowing project
- community knowledge maps on large screens integrated with contact/presence awareness
Ontologies, topic maps, expert profiling, visualisations, etc.
Note: there was a lot on these topics at I-KNOW, check the program and special track on Semantic Web and Knowledge Discovery (many presentations are online).
Selected presentations (didn’t go personally to most of them!), all links go to .pdf files
- An Investigation into Sharing Metadata: “I’m not thinking what you are thinking”
- A Comprehensive Guideline for Building a Domain Ontology from Scratch
- Pervasive Knowledge Discovery: Continuous lifelong learning by matching needs, requirements and resources
- Discourse Visualization Strategies for a Comprehensive Medial Analysis of Cultural Science Communities
- A Case Study in Supporting Distributed, Loosely-controlled and evolvInG Engineering of oNTologies (DILIGENT)
