Purpose

k l d kSupporting knowledge workers

working together in one domainworking together in one domain

in developing a shared ontology &in developing a shared ontology &

a shared index of relevant web resources

organized with this ontology

Procedure

f d b h dd h1. User finds a new web resource she wants to add to the shared index

2. Annotating with concepts from the ontology or arbitrary tagsarbitrary tags

3. Gathering arbitrary tags as “prototypical concepts” for g y g p yp plater consolidation and placement

4. Structuring concepts with taxonomic relations according to the SKOS Core Vocabulary

Hands-on Hands on Phases

Phase 1: Individual & Collaborative Tagging

’Time: 40’Resources to work with

h // l i /• http://www.elearningpapers.eu/• Clusters as a seed concepts

To DosTo Dos• Read and tag papers according to your interests in SOBOLEO• Introduce new tags as you see fitIntroduce new tags as you see fit• Watch what others are doing

22

Group Building

’Time: 10’Resources to work with• none

To DosYou will have to clean up your mess ( consolidate) in the next • You will have to clean up your mess (=consolidate) in the next phase

• Form groups of 3-5 persons according to thematic interests

23

Phase 2: Consolidation & New Resources

Ti 50’Time: 50’Resources to work with• Tagged resources and concepts in SOBOLEO flipchart & cards• Tagged resources and concepts in SOBOLEO, flipchart & cards

(use whatever you need)• Select a set of new papers you have personally bookmarked

(not in SOBOLEO)(not in SOBOLEO)

To Dos• Try to arrive at a shared and consolidated conceptualization y p

(face to face or online) and input it into SOBOLEO• Tag your selected new papers in SOBOLEO• Check how the shared conceptualization matches these • Check how the shared conceptualization matches these

resources• Keep discussing and consolidating while adding new resources
