Joint activities with the ACTIVE IP

MATURE has established close contacts to the ACTIVE IP ever since both projects have started. It was clear that both projects have an overlap in their vision of Web 2.0-enabled tools. 

ACTIVE aims to increase the productivity of knowledge workers in a pro-active, contextualised, yet easy and unobtrusive way. The aim is to convert tacit and unshared knowledge – the "hidden intelligence" of enterprises – into transferable, interoperable and actionable knowledge to support seamless collaboration and to enable problem solving. A key aspect will be the support for informal procedural knowledge - the informal collaboration and problem-solving tasks that drive much knowledge work in the enterprise.

  • ACTIVE and MATURE will jointly develop appropriate APIs for the Semantic MediaWiki, enabling the wiki platform to form part of mashups.
  • MATURE will provide the SOBOLEO tool to support an ACTIVE use case where tagging of resources is brought together with wiki-based knowledge and ontology modeling. 
  • ACTIVE has adopted the knowledge maturing model to describe and understand the evolutionary processes in Web 2.0 enabled enterprises. Frank Dengler has already presented a first approach to wiki-based process modeling based on the maturing model  at the Knowledge Management conference WM 2009 at Solothurn.
