  AbstractBibTeXEndNote

  Digital public participation formats are an emerging and accessible way to involve diverse groups of citizens in construction projects in their local area. Particularly, mixed reality can help project initiators to visualize the planned changes to the city landscape in an easy and understandable way, enabling people to participate in a creative manner. However, this technology is challenging for most project initiators, as it requires an extensive technical and/or domain experience. Besides that, specialized hardware and experienced staff is required. An easy on-boarding process, which introduces mixed reality step-by-step and offers assistance by external service providers could promote both adoption and usage. In this paper, we present the design process and resulting concept of a configurator for a public participation platform, that aims to guide initiators with different levels of technical knowledge. Besides detailing the design and development process of the prototype, we will present the preliminary results of our evaluation. The interview partners provided positive feedback on the usage of our configurator. Moreover, different approaches are necessary for the public and private sector when configuring and purchasing their participation solution. Finally, we highlight areas that are still in need of further work, such as the compliance with the regulations for public institutions and address further promising areas of research.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  The world of work is undergoing fundamental transformations. We see technological developments such as digitization and automation in an ever-increasing number of sectors and intensity. Companies and public sector organisations have to reshape their value creation processes and guide their employees to new job roles, creating an uncertain outlook. Are your team members embracing and shaping change, or are they being driven by it? The ability to utilize modern technologies and methods is just the surface. Overcoming resistance to change, stressful conflicts, and lack of openness are major road blocks. We also need to look at a deeper level of learning. Employees need to rethink their job roles, the relationship to others, and what good work means to them. Leaders need to take new approaches to match the new responsibilities. This indicates the importance of the professional identity of individuals and occupational groups. Employees are often not given spaces to engage in conversations and transform their identity, to consider the emotional aspects of their work, or to acquire the skills for moving from a problem focus to a solution focus and help each other in their learning process. In this short book, we look at the role of technology for learning in the workplace to support identity transformation.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Mitarbeiter von Arbeitsagenturen sehen sich derzeit großen Verände-rungen gegenüber, die ihr berufliches Selbstverständnis herausfordern. Im Rahmen des Projektes EmployID wird untersucht, wie sich mit Hilfe von „Social Learning“-Ansätzen die Weiterentwicklung des beruflichen Selbstver-ständnisses fördern lässt. Anhand von drei Kontexten (Vereinigtes Königreich, Kroatien, Slowenien) und vier technisch-konzeptionellen Ansätzen (Reflexion, Social Learning Programmes, Visualisierung von Arbeitsmarktdaten und Peer Coaching) wird gezeigt, wie sich konstruktive Veränderungsprozesse anstoßen lassen, die das „Lernen von anderen“ in den Vordergrund stellen.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Angesichts des demographischen Wandels und der disruptiven Veränderung von vielen Industriebereichen durch die fortschreitende Digitalisierung/Industrie 4.0 sieht sich das Thema Kompetenzmanagement vor neuen Herausforderungen. Es geht nun vor allem um agile Herangehensweisen, die Umbruchssituationen und kreativen, auf Einzelsituationen angepassten Einzellösungen gewachsen sind. Der Beitrag stellt ein Kompetenzmanagementprozessmodell und dessen Anwendung auf konkrete Unternehmensbeispiele vor, das auf die wechselseitige Abhängigkeit von unterschiedlichen Ebenen (operativ, strategisch, normativ) und die Verknüpfung mit anderen Unternehmensprozessen abzielt. Dabei ist im besonderen Fokus der Einbau von Lernzyklen für ein Double-Loop-Learning, um die Zielsetzung und eingesetzte Methoden an die sich teilweise schnell verändernden Umgebungsbedingungen zu erreichen und doch auf ein stabiles systematisches Vorgehen setzen zu können.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Design-based research has become increasingly popular in collaborative cross-disciplinary research projects. Based on the experience in several European research projects, this research methodology allows for more agile research approaches. However, it is still a challenge to turn design experiences into a sound body of evidence that can be transferred to future design problems. In this paper, we want to describe an approach to collaborative research projects that extends design-based research with the use of design patterns. We particularly focus on how emergent knowledge can be captured as proto-patterns, how the knowledge develops along the research process, and how such projects can be geared towards pattern outcomes. Towards that end, we present a pattern maturing process describing phases of pattern development that is based on knowledge maturing phase model.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  The paper is based on early research and practices in developing workplace Learning Analytics for the EU funded EmployID project, focused on identity transformation and continuing professional development in Public Employment Services (PES) in Europe. Workplace learning is mostly informal with little agreement of proxies for learning, driven by demands of work tasks or intrinsic interests of the learner, by self-directed exploration and social exchange that is tightly connected to processes and the places of work. Rather than focusing on formal learning, LA in PES needs to be based on individual and collective social practices and informal learning and facilitation processes rather than formal education. Furthermore, there are considerable concerns and restraints over the use of data in PES including data privacy and issues including power relations and hierarchies. Following a consultation process about what innovations PES would like to pilot and what best meets their needs, PES defined priorities for competence advancement around the ‘resourceful learner’, self-reflection and self-efficacy as core competences for their professional identity transformation. The paper describes an approach based on Social Learning Analytics linked to the activities of the EmployID project in developing social learning including advanced coaching, reflection, networking and learning support services. SLA focuses on how learners build knowledge together in their cultural and social settings. In the context of online social learning, it takes into account both formal and informal educational environments, including networks and communities. The final section of the paper reports on work in progress to build a series of tools to embed SLA within communities and practices in PES organisations.

  Pattern-based approaches are becoming increasingly popular to capture design experiences for a wider audience. This rises to particular importance in participatory processes, such as user-driven design approaches. However, the creation process of such patterns is challenging, especially when it comes to motivational, affective and other soft factors. In this paper, we view the pattern development as a knowledge maturing process, i.e., a process of collective knowledge development. We describe the pattern development process, identify barriers in this process, and explain how various social learning approaches, such as peer coaching, social learning programmes (i.e., online courses with a collaborative focus), and reflective instruments in agile processes contribute to the key issue of decontextualizing and recontextualizing experiences in a continuous way.

• Maier, R., Schmidt, A.: Explaining organizational knowledge creation with a knowledge maturing model Knowledge Management Research & Practice. 2014, 1–20 (2014).

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Social media challenge knowledge management because of encouraging conversations, networking and participation in more distributed, diverse and dynamic ways of knowledge development and increasingly important individuals’ interests driving them. Hence, we need to understand the complex relationships between different qualities of knowledge developed in informal and formal processes as well as for overcoming misalignments in routines, tools and infrastructures supporting organizational knowledge creation. This paper contributes a maturation perspective towards explaining organizational knowledge creation and presents a knowledge maturing model, which is grounded in organizational practice and validated with qualitative and quantitative empirical and design studies. The results describe how characteristics of knowledge and support by IT change between phases of knowledge maturing. Our findings confirm theories of organizational knowledge creation with respect to expanding scopes from individuals through communities to organizations moving from interest-driven knowledge exploration in informal contexts to goal-driven knowledge exploitation in formal contexts. The maturation perspective adds to our understanding that organizational knowledge creation is not simply a continuous process. Phases that emphasize changeability alternate with phases concerned with stability. Knowledge develops in contexts that need to switch multiple times between opening up for new knowledge and filtering relevant knowledge and between de- and re-contextualization.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Public Employment Services (PES) in Europe are authorities that match supply and demand on the labor market. Rising unemployment in times of crisis and demographic change are amongst others main challenges that PES practitioners, as direct interface between jobseekers and employers, have to deal with. They have to support career adaptability of their clients as well as to enhance and transform their own individual and collective professional identity to successfully cope with today’s challenges of the labor market. The research project EmployID is exploring how to facilitate the learning process of PES practitioners in their professional identity development. The aim of the project is to empower individual PES practitioners, their community and organizations, to engage in transformative practices, using a holistic tool suite combining e-coaching, reflection, MOOCs, networking, analytical and learning support tools. Initial contextual exploration has started to reveal the complexity of challenges when introducing learning innovation in these public organizations.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Work-based learning often suffers from lack of opportunities and space for learning activities as part of everyday work processes. One possibility is the active involvement into collective sense-making processes, e.g., how to translate new or updated clinical guidelines into changes of processes and treatment at a concrete practice. This active involvement requires sharing of opinions, ideas, and other “immature” pieces of information/knowledge. However, a major obstacle lies in individuals’ reluctance to share and use immature knowledge if they experience uncertainty about the maturity. Living Documents tries to address this issue. It is a web-based system that allows for collaboration and knowledge development based on the metaphor of a living document. Such living documents combines stable and more mature parts with emergent comments and opinions, which are made first class citizens. Document, sub-documents, and comments can be associated with knowledge maturing indicators. In this respect, the approach to support learning has been based on the knowledge maturing model. The system promotes knowledge maturing by providing a contextual space for conversations that can be linked to more mature knowledge.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Software engineering has been transformed in recent years by understanding the interaction with customers and the target context as an ongoing learning process. Responsiveness to change and user-centered design have been the consequences. In a similar way, knowledge and ontology engineering are undergoing fundamental changes to acknowledge the fact that they are part of a collective knowledge maturing process. We explore three examples: social media based competence management in career guidance, ontology-centered reflection in multi-professional environments in palliative care, and aligning individual mindlines in pratice networks of General Practitioners. Based on these, we extract five types of designing for knowledge maturing and associated technical implementations. This shows that future technology support should especially target facilitation of self-organized, but tool-mediated knowledge development processes, where, e.g., workplace learning analytics can play a prominent role.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Workplace learning happens in the process and context of work, is multi-episodic, often informal, problem based and takes place on a just-in-time basis. While this is a very effective means of delivery, it also does not scale very well beyond the immediate context. We review three types of technologies that have been suggested to scale learning and three connected theoretical discourses around learning and its support. Based on these three strands and an in-depth contextual inquiry into two workplace learning domains, health care and building and construction, four design-based research projects were conducted that have given rise to designs for scaling informal learning with technology. The insights gained from the design and contextual inquiry contributed to a model that provides an integrative view on three informal learning processes at work and how they can be supported with technology: (1) task performance, reflection and sensemaking; (2) help seeking, guidance and support; and (3) emergence and maturing of collective knowledge. The model fosters our understanding of how informal learning can be scaled and how an orchestrated set of technologies can support this process.

Rising unemployment in times of crisis and demographic change are among the main challenges with which PES practitioners, as a direct interface between jobseekers and employers, have to deal. They have to support career adaptability of their clients, as well as to enhance and transform their own individual and collective professional identities, in order to cope successfully with the challenges of a changing labor market. As part of the research project EmployID, we are exploring how to facilitate the learning process of PES practitioners in their professional identity development. The aim of the project is to empower individual PES practitioners, their community, and organizations, to engage in transformative practices, using a holistic tool suite combining e-coaching, reflection, MOOCs, networking, analytical, and learning support tools. The key to successful professional identity transformation is continuous learning. Individuals may take on the role of facilitators for the learning of others as well as being facilitated by peers, technology and environment.

  Wissensreifung ist eine neue Perspektive auf die Wissensentwicklung in Arbeitsumgebungen. Sie konzentriert sich darauf, wie Aktivitäten und Lernprozesse des einzelnen Mitarbeiters zur Fortentwicklung der Organisation, ihrer Innovations- und Anpassungsfähigkeit beitragen. Sie zeigt Barrieren auf, wo dies nicht funktioniert. Und zeigt Wege auf, wie man diese Barrieren überwinden kann.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  The level of similarity of knowledge work across occupations and industries allows for the design of supportive information and communication technology (ICT) that can be widely used. In a previous ethnographically-informed study, we identified activities that can be supported to increase knowledge maturing, conceptualized as goal-oriented learning on a collective level. The aim of this paper is to investigate the current state of support and success of these knowledge maturing activities and to contrast them with their perceived importance, in order to identify those which have the highest potential for being supported by ICT. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through telephone interviews with representatives from 126 organizations throughout Europe in a sample stratified according to size, sector and knowledge-intensity. The activities that appear to be most promising are ‘reflecting on and refining work practices and processes’, ‘finding people with particular knowledge or expertise’, as well as ‘assessing, verifying and rating information’. Rich empirical material about how these activities are performed and also the issues that emerged and need to be managed were collected. Three clusters of organizations were identified: best performing organizations, people- and awareness-oriented organizations and hesitant formalists. It was found that a balanced knowledge strategy that leaned towards personalization outperformed a codification strategy.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Motivational and affective aspects have long been neglected in research and development of technology enhanced learning (TEL) solutions, but it is now increasingly recognized that they are key to acceptance and sustainable success. However, the consideration of these aspects still suffers from fragmented research activities that are in between established disciplines. We summarize the results from three editions of the EC-TEL workshop series MATEL, which has established a forum for interdisciplinary conversations and joint re-search activities. This includes an overview and systematization of current re-search and its findings as well as prioritized research challenges. The paper concludes with a research agenda that advances the inclusion of motivational and affective aspects into TEL from art to an engineering approach.

• Krogstie, B.R., Schmidt, A., Kunzmann, C., Krogstie, J., Mora, S.: Linking Reflective Learning and Knowledge Maturing in Organizations 3rd Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning, co-located with ECTEL 2013 (2013).

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Reflection is a key activity for learning in organizations. While technology support for reflection on the individual and collaborative level is promising, it remains challenging to embed these learning activities into the organization. To better understand and support reflection in the workplace, it is important to see the mutual dependencies between reflective learning activities and knowledge maturing. In this paper, we seek to bridge the gap by presenting a conceptual model linking reflection and knowledge maturing. Based on the model we put forward three propositions: In reflective learning, expertise moderates knowledge maturing, discrepancies be-tween knowledge elements trigger reflection, and the maturity of knowledge used in reflection influences the reflection process. We use findings from empirical studies in two care homes to support the propositions. We address implications for the design of technology enhanced reflection support by discussing a prototype reflection tool for care homes.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Ontologies as shared understanding of a domain of interest can support reflective processes in spiritual care. Such an ontology has been extracted from an empirical analysis of historic patient records, which has identified a key structure. This ontology is supposed to support the reflective learning process of the palliative care team, which is interdisciplinary. A first prototype for a semantically enhanced patient care documentation system has been developed which embeds links to spiritual care into practice and helps to create awareness among other disciplines about the systematic nature of spiritual care.

  %X Ontologies as shared understanding of a domain of interest can support reflective processes in spiritual care. Such an ontology has been extracted from an empirical analysis of historic patient records, which has identified a key structure. This ontology is supposed to support the reflective learning process of the palliative care team, which is interdisciplinary. A first prototype for a semantically enhanced patient care documentation system has been developed which embeds links to spiritual care into practice and helps to create awareness among other disciplines about the systematic nature of spiritual care.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  This paper presents an original approach to designing social media that support informal learning in the digital workplace. It adapts design-based research to take into account the embeddedness of interactions within digitally mediated work-based contexts. The approach is demonstrated through the design, implementation, and evaluation of software tools supporting a particular type of informal learning called knowledge maturing. The paper: introduces and presents the rationale for, and concept of, knowledge maturing; presents a new design methodology for developing social media that support informal learning and knowledge maturing; focuses on one prototype, for ‘people tagging for organisational development’, that was produced by the methodology (and concisely describes two others); presents the formative evaluation of the highlighted prototype; and finally, discusses the implications and insights arising from this work.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Good Human-Computer-Interfaces are necessary for an uncomplicated and reasonable use of software and devices, but depend heavily on the special capabilities of the user. Because it is nearly impossible for a “universal” design to fit to the very broad set of different persons, the appearance and behavior should be customized to the individual user. Current approaches are trying to give users the ability to customize the user interface by providing them detailed configuration abilities, which consumes a lot of time and is hard especially for older people. Also difficulties arise for older people and people with certain limitations, because their capabilities change with aging or with advancing deceases. This makes a row of subsequent adjustments to the Human-Computer-Interface necessary. The MyUI project funded by the EU tries to develop a framework to overcome this problems by using adaptive interfaces.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Semantic People Tagging is an Enterprise 2.0-style approach to making expertise and individual capabilities transparent. By combining it with a collaborative ontology editor and thus the possibility to construct a shared vocabulary and understanding, it can be a supplement for cumbersome competence management, or expert finder solutions, which lack acceptance among employees, and suffer from outdated data. It gives human resources a timely overview of available and required competencies based on peer reviews and actual usage. However, it also needs to be tailored to the cultural characteristics of a specific company. Therefore, we have developed a design framework for semantic people tagging. We want to present the general approach based on the ontology maturing concept of gradual formalization and its implementation based on a social semantic bookmarking system. Focus group interviews with HR experts have further have yielded insights into the wider context and validated the concept. The system has been introduced and evaluated at a company for career advising, and is being rolled out to additional contexts.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  The agility of organizations has become the critical success factor for competitiveness in a world characterized by an accelerating rate of change. Agility requires that companies and their employees together and mutually dependently learn and develop their competencies efficiently in order to improve productivity of knowledge work. As a reaction to failures of organisation-driven approaches to technology-enhanced learning and the success of community-driven approaches in the spirit of Web 2.0, we have recently seen a paradigm shift in technology support for learning towards more participatory approaches in which learners are seen as active contributors. Within enterprises, this new perspective brings together traditionally separated disciplines like e-learning, knowledge management, and human resources development, but also requires a fundamental change of the culture of the respective enterprise towards an enterprise 2.0, which is characterized by enhanced collaboration and a cultural of employee participation. These developments are at the heart of how individuals and companies value and deal with knowledge. To make sense it and to productively shape the change process, we need a new conceptual framework that is both well-grounded on extensive research and pratically relevant and proven through application in numerous projects. The Knowledge Maturing perspective is a novel approach that helps understanding the fundamental change, the barriers and disruptions in knowledge development, but also shows opportunities and gives guidance to make use of them.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  The Knowledge Maturing Phase Model has been presented as a model aligning knowledge management and organizational learning. The core argument underlying the present paper is that maturing organizational know-how requires individual and collaborative reflection at work. We present an explorative interview study that analyzes reflection at the workplace in four organizations in different European countries. Our qualitative findings suggest that reflection is not equally self-evident in different settings. A deeper analysis of the findings leads to the hypothesis that different levels of maturity of processes come along with different expectations towards the workers with regard to compliance and flexibility, and to different ways of how learning at work takes place. Furthermore, reflection in situations where the processes are in early maturing phases seems to lead to consolidation of best practice, while reflection in situations where processes are highly standardized may lead to a modification of these standard processes. Therefore, in order to support the maturing of organizational know-how by providing reflection support, one should take into account the degree of standardisation of the processes in the target group.

  While motivational aspects have been recognized as important factors for IT support for learning, it has been difficult to integrate them into requirements engineering processes. We propose ethnographically informed studies as an effective means that has been successfully applied in two research projects as part of their design processes and discuss the remaining challenges.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Nurses and physicians on a stroke unit constantly face pressure and emotional stress. Physiological sensors can create awareness of one’s own stress and persuade medical staff to reflect on their own behavior and coping strategies. In this study, eight nurses and physicians of a stroke unit were equipped with a wearable ECG and acceleration sensor during their everyday work in order to (a) make them aware of stress and (b) support the re-calling of experiences to identify stressors. In an interview one week later, the participants were asked to recollect stress related events through the examination of the sensor data. Although high activity levels diminished the expressiveness of the data, physicians and nurses could recall stressful events and were interested in their physiological signals. However, existing coping strategies turned out as barriers to the adoption of new tools. Future persuasive applications should focus on integration with existing coping strategies to scaffold the reflection process.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Competence Management approaches suggest promising instruments for more effective resource allocation, knowledge management, learning support, and human resource development in general. However, especially on the level of individual employees, such approaches have so far not been able to show sustain-able success on a larger scale. Piloting applications like expert finders have often failed in the long run because of incomplete and outdated data, apart from social and organizational barriers. To overcome these problems, we propose a collabora-tive competence management approach. In this approach, we combine Web 2.0-style bottom-up processes with organizational top-down processes. We addressed this problem as a collaborative ontology construction problem of which the con-ceptual foundation is the Ontology Maturing Process Model. In order to realize the Ontology Maturing Process Model for competence management, we have built the AJAX-based semantic social bookmarking application SOBOLEO that offers task-embedded competence ontology development and an easy-to-use interface. Following evolutionary prototyping within the design-based research methodology we conducted two field experiments in parallel with the system development in order to test the approach of people tagging in general and to explore motivational and social aspects in particular.

In this paper an activity-based perspective towards knowledge work is taken. Based on findings from a previous ethnographically-informed study, we identified valuable activities to be supported in order to increase knowledge maturing inside companies. The goal of this paper is to contribute to which knowledge maturing activities are deemed important, so that they can be supported by IT services. Quantitative and qualitative data have been collected in 126 organisations of different size, sector and knowledge intensity. Important feedback and issues emerged and need to be managed in order to support success in the knowledge maturing activities that allow improvement of organisational learning through the dissemination and application of the most appropriate knowledge.

  Changes in the underpinning technologies for TEL is occurring at a pace that we have never before experienced, and this is unlikely to slow down. This necessitates a broader and more profound understanding of design that needs to be more future-proof than relying on the latest or emerging technologies and yet embraces the collaborative, multimodal and ubiquitous nature of learning in 21C. In addressing this challenge this article develops, exemplifies and tests the approach of Deep Learning Design (DLD), which has led to relatively large-scale and sustainable innovations and also outlined clear directions for near-future developments. Specifically, in this article we: justify why DLD is necessary and describe its key principles; exemplify these principles through four TEL initiatives; and, draw some implications and conclusions from across these projects about DLD and future learning.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Given the increasingly pervasive and important role of the net in our everyday lives, along with the many practices it mediates and supports, it is becoming crucial that we consider the role of motivation in TEL. This will help us to ensure that our TEL innovations are adopted, and their related learning activities are favoured, supported and realised in the digital landscape - and not avoided because our focus lies elsewhere or there are simply too many other things to do. And yet, motivation is poorly understood and usually not considered in the design of TEL. In addressing this issue (of motivation) this paper will reflect on perspectives from Psychology, Serious Games and Social Software, before proposing some initial ideas for designing for motivation. The arising design ideas that have initially been applied to the development of Digital Dialogue Games are now being articulated within a larger scale EU Integrated Project called MATURE, that is particularly challenged to design informal learning and knowledge maturing in the Web 2.0 workplace.

  %U http://mature-ip.eu/files/matel10/ravenscroft.pdf
  %X Given the increasingly pervasive and important role of the net in our everyday lives, along with the many practices it mediates and supports, it is becoming crucial that we consider the role of motivation in TEL. This will help us to ensure that our TEL innovations are adopted, and their related learning activities are favoured, supported and realised in the digital landscape - and not avoided because our focus lies elsewhere or there are simply too many other things to do. And yet, motivation is poorly understood and usually not considered in the design of TEL. In addressing this issue (of motivation) this paper will reflect on perspectives from Psychology, Serious Games and Social Software, before proposing some initial ideas for designing for motivation. The arising design ideas that have initially been applied to the development of Digital Dialogue Games are now being articulated within a larger scale EU Integrated Project called MATURE, that is particularly challenged to design informal learning and knowledge maturing in the Web 2.0 workplace.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  This article presents an original approach to designing complex systems to realise informal learning and knowledge maturing that is being conducted as part of a large-scale EC project called MATURE. In addressing the challenge of designing work integrated Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) systems within the ‘web 2.0 workplace’, we have developed and tested an agile and ‘federated’ approach to the design of complex social and semantic technologies. This follows a paradigm of Deep Learning Design that incorporates: early technical and conceptual Design Studies; Use Cases of envisaged scenarios; Demonstrators which synthesise the technical and user requirements; and, a flexible Evaluation Framework that coordinates the related activities. After presenting this approach and how it is realised in an ongoing project, we offer some conclusions about designing complex socio-technical systems for TEL in the future.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Das Europäische Integrierende Projekt SOPRANO zielt auf die Schaffung einer offenen Plattform für Ambient-Assisted-Living-Lösungen, die älteren Menschen länger ein unabhängiges selbstbestimmtes Leben im eigenen Zuhause ermögli-chen sollen. Um solche Lösungen markttauglich zu machen, ist es von herausragender Bedeutung, sie durch einen fle-xiblen Aufbau anpassbar an die jeweiligen Bedürfnisse zu gestalten und eine funktionierende Marktökologie zu schaf-fen, bei der nicht ein einziger Anbieter alle Funktionen und Dienste entwickelt/betreibt, sondern unterschiedliche Akteure mit ihren jeweiligen Stärken zusammenwirken können. Dazu wird eine technische Plattform konzipiert, die es ihnen ermöglicht ihre Dienste, Produkte und Erfahrungen zu integrieren. Doch eine rein technisch verstandene Modularität reicht nicht aus, um in einer komplexen Domäne wie AAL ein reibungsarmes Zusammenspiel von unabhängig vonei-nander entwickelten Systemteilen zu gewährleisten. Hierzu werden Methoden zur Sicherung der semantischen Kohärenz benötigt, die in SOPRANO durch einen ontologiegestützten Architekturansatz und semantische Verträge zwischen den einzelnen Komponenten umgesetzt werden.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Ambient assisted living (AAL) is a newly emerging term describing a research area with focus on services that support people in their daily life with particular focus on elderly people. This includes reminding and alerting the assisted person(s) and their environment, giving feedback, advice, and impulses for physical, or social activities, among others. All of these supportive actions need to be context-aware. Semantic technologies have been considered to be a perfect fit for context-awareness in pervasive computing and ambient intelligence. Mainstream semantic (web) technologies are nowadays largely based on description logics and the W3C standard OWL-DL, which are also used in the AAL domain (see [PG07] and [KC06]). The analysis of the scenarios and use cases, however, have yielded requirements and constraints, which have shown that these mainstream technologies are not well-suited for the AAL domain. In this paper we present the SOPRANO approach as an alternative semantic approach to capturing, managing, and enriching context information for context-aware AAL services.

  Dieser Artikel präsentiert das SOBOLEO-System und das zugrundeliegende Ontologiereifungsprozessmodell für die kollaborative Ontologieentwicklung. Man kann beobachten, dass die meisten aktuellen Ontologieentwicklungsprozesse und -werkzeuge von einer organisatorischen, personellen, technischen und zeitlichen Trennung zwischen Entwicklung und Nutzung der Ontologie ausgehen – eine Trennung, die wiederum häufig zu kostspieligen und nicht an ihre Nutzung angepasste Ontologien führt. Unser Ansatz überwindet durch diese Trennung verursachten Schwierigkeiten mittels Methoden und Werkzeuge, die die Nutzer der Ontologie in die Lage versetzen, diese selbst zu entwickeln, und zwar im gleichen System, das die Ontologie nutzt und zu dem Zeitpunkt und Umfang wie jeweils nötig (arbeitsintegriert).

  A key factor for success of companies operating in a globalized market environment is a modern SOA-based infrastructure. An essential component of a SOA infrastructure is the central service registry. Current standards for organizing service registries and their implementations are driven by the technical aspects of the infrastructure. When using such technically organized service registries, business users often fail to find the needed information. With the concepts of Web 2.0 in mind, we present a new approach to the organization and implementation of the business registries that are driven by the needs of business users. The paper discusses the problems of the current technically driven approaches, presents an architecture for a business user-driven service registry and introduces an implementation of the architecture using UDDI and Semantic MediaWiki.

  Effective learning support in organizations requires a flexible and personalized toolset that brings together the individual and the organizational perspective on learning. Such toolsets need a service-oriented infrastructure of reusable knowledge and learning services as an enabler. This contribution focuses on conceptual foundations for such an infrastructure as it is being developed within the MATURE IP and builds on the knowledge maturing process model on the one hand, and the seeding-evolutionary growth-reseeding model on the other hand. These theories are used to derive maturing services, for which initial examples are presented.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Motivational aspects in knowledge management have so far largely been considered from the perspective of designing and implementing incentives that influence the extrinsic motivation of employees to participate, contribute, share etc. This is increasingly considered problematic so that this contribution takes a more holistic viewpoint by analyzing and systematizing barriers that have an impact on the motivation to engage in knowledge maturing activities. Based on an ethnographic study and targeted semi-structured interviews, a model is presented that decomposes the motivational aspects. Furthermore, it is presented how motivational aspects can be incorporated into the design of learning support systems.

  %T Integrating Motivational Aspects into the Design of Informal Learning Support in Organizations
  %U http://publications.andreas.schmidt.name/Kunzmann_Schmidt_Motivation_IKNOW09.pdf
  %X Motivational aspects in knowledge management have so far largely been considered from the perspective of designing and implementing incentives that influence the extrinsic motivation of employees to participate, contribute, share etc. This is increasingly considered problematic so that this contribution takes a more holistic viewpoint by analyzing and systematizing barriers that have an impact on the motivation to engage in knowledge maturing activities. Based on an ethnographic study and targeted semi-structured interviews, a model is presented that decomposes the motivational aspects. Furthermore, it is presented how motivational aspects can be incorporated into the design of learning support systems.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Das Wissen darüber, wer was weiß, ist im Unternehmen ein essentielles Element für effiziente Wissensreifungsprozesse, wie etwa das Finden des richtigen Ansprechpartners. Viele Ansätze, die dies adressieren, konnten ihren Versprechungen jedoch nicht gerecht werden. Häufig weil in den Verzeichnissen enthaltene Informationen schnell veraltet oder nicht in einer für die Nutzer relevanten Weise beschrieben waren. Zur Überwindung dieser Probleme präsentieren wir einen Ansatz zum kollaborativen Kompetenzmanagement, der alle Mitarbeiter einbindet und teilnehmen lässt. Die Basis hierfür bildet das sog. "People Tagging", bei dem jeder Mitarbeiter die Expertise und Interessen seiner Kollegen mit Tags beschreiben kann. Dies wird durch Methoden der Community-gestützten Ontologieentwicklung ergänzt, mit denen Mitarbeiter den zum Tagging verwendeten Kompetenzkatalog ständig weiterentwickeln und ihren Bedürfnissen anpassen.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Semantic technologies are very helpful in improving existing systems for searching, managing and retrieving of resources, e.g. image search, bookmarking or expert finder systems. They enhance these systems through background knowledge stored in ontologies. However, in most cases, resources in these systems change very fast. In consequence, they require a dynamic and agile change of underlying ontologies. Also, the formality of these ontologies must fit the users needs and capabilities and must be appropriate and usable. Therefore, a continuous, collaborative and work or task integrated development of these ontologies is required. In this paper, we present how these requirements occur in real world applications and how they are solved and implemented using our Ontology Maturing Process Model.

  This paper proposes an initial design study to examine and test some of the key concepts and issues within a large-scale European research project that is exploring and aiming to realise learning as a process of knowledge maturing in the workplace. It will outline some of these concepts, based on a contemporary (or Web 2.0 driven) articulation of how ontologies can be acquired, externalised and exploited by a user-community and introduce a new role for learning dialogue - through developing work into „dialogue games‟. An initial scenario, or „thought experiment‟, is proposed that is grounded on currently available ontology development (SOBOLEO) and learning dialogue (InterLoc) web-technologies and how these could be integrated, or „mashed up‟, to improve the management, understanding and application of labour market information in the context of careers advice. Finally, we also consider the potential role of m-learning techniques and the implications about context that these give rise to.

  Die Popularität von Tagging-Ansätzen hat gezeigt, dass dieses Ordnungsprinzip für Nutzer insbesondere auf kollaborativen Plattformen deutlich zugänglicher ist als strukturierte und kontrollierte Vokabulare. Allerdings stoßen Tagging-Ansätze oft an ihre Grenzen, wo sie keine ausreichende semantische Präzision ausbilden können. Umgekehrt können ontologiebasierte Ansätze zwar die semantische Präzision erreichen, werden jedoch (besonders aufgrund der schwerfälligen Pflegeprozesse) von den Nutzern kaum akzeptiert. Wir schlagen eine Verbindung beider Welten vor, die auf einer neuen Sichtweise auf die Entstehung von Ontologien fußt: die Ontologiereifung. Anhand zweier Werkzeuge aus dem Bereich des Social Semantic Bookmarking und der semantischen Bildsuche zeigen wir, wie Anwendungen aussehen können, die eine solche Ontologiereifung (in die jeweiligen Nutzungsprozesse integriert) ermöglichen und fördern.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Several initiatives have shown the potentials of applying AI techniques to ambient intelligence in general and ambient assisted living in particular. While these systems succeed in adding “intelligence” to systems, they do not provide the extensibility and openness of products ready for the market. In this paper, we present the SOPRANO approach, which is based on a combination of ontologybased techniques and a service-oriented device architecture. In this approach, we focus on separating different aspects of the system like sensors & actuators, context information, and system behaviour, and provide a framework that clearly defines contracts for different solution contributors utilising semantic technologies.

While these systems succeed in adding “intelligence” to systems, they do not provide the extensibility and openness of products ready for the market. In this paper, we present the SOPRANO approach, which is based on a combination of ontologybased techniques and a service-oriented device architecture. In this approach, we focus on separating different aspects of the system like sensors & actuators, context information, and system behaviour, and provide a framework that clearly defines contracts for different solution contributors utilising semantic technologies.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Competence Management approaches, aiming at making transparent individual competencies and their relationship to organizational goals, suggest promising instruments for more effective resource allocation, knowledge management, learning support, and human resource development in general. However, especially on the level of individual employees, such approaches have so far not been able to show sustainable success on a larger scale. Piloting applications like expert finders have often failed in the long run because of incomplete and outdated data, apart from social and organizational barriers. This affects both competency profiles of the individual employee and non-adequate and often also outdated competency catalogs used as a vocabulary for the profiles. To overcome these problems, we propose a collaborative competence management approach. In this approach, we combine Web 2.0-style bottom-up processes with organizational top-down processes: Web 2.0 oriented bottom-up processes allow every employee to participate and contribute with low usage barriers; i.e. by tagging colleagues; the organizational processes take up and guide these bottom-up developments towards organizational goals. Key idea is that we cannot do competence management completely without an agreed vocabulary (or ontology), i.e. the competency catalog, but we have to make the process of evolving this catalog more collaborative and embedded into its actual usage (e.g., while tagging other employees). Likewise, we do not conceive competency profiles as self-descriptions, but rather as results of collective judgments of others. We approached this problem as a collaborative ontology construction problem of which the conceptual foundation is the Ontology Maturing Process Model. In order to realize the Ontology Maturing Process Model for competence management, we have built the AJAX-based semantic social bookmarking application SOBOLEO that offers task-embedded competence ontology development and an easy-to-use interface.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Dyslexia is a major barrier to success in education and later on the job as reading skills are fundamental for personal competence development. Children with dyslexia have special learning needs (e.g., more teacher support), which currently only specialized institutions can provide. However, this takes children out of their peer group and causes social problems. On the other side, there is general-purpose reading support software, which is not geared towards children with dyslexia as they lack personalization. AGENT-DYSL brings together speech and image recognition as well as semantic technologies to build a truly adaptive reading support system for children with dyslexia.

  The knowledge maturing model views learning activities as embedded into, interwoven with, and even indistinguishable from everyday work processes. Learning is understood as an inherently social and collaborative activity. The Knowledge Maturing Process Model structures this process into five phases: expressing ideas, distributing in communities, formalizing, ad-hoc learning and standardization. It is applicable not only for content but also to process knowledge and semantics. In the MATURE IP two toolsets will be develop that support the maturing process: a personal learning environment and an organisation learning environment integrating the levels of individuals, communities and organisation. The development is guided by the SER theory of seeding, evolutionary growth and reseeding and is based on generally applicable maturing services.

  The aim of the EU-funded project SOPRANO is to assist older Europeans to lead a more independent life in their familiar environment by means of a next generation smart home with ambient intelligence. The core of the system in each house will be the SOPRANO Ambient Middleware (SAM), which receives the user commands and sensor inputs, enriches them semantically and triggers appropriate reactions via actuators in the house. In this paper, we present a novel approach of an ontology-centred design in order to create SAM as a reliable, deterministic and economically scalable component. Thus, the starting point is the development of a context ontology focussing on the concept of a state. This OWL-Lite ontology is then used as a central reference document during the design process as well as during runtime to abstract from concrete sensor inputs and actuator outputs.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Adaptive reading assistance can improve the reading performance of students, but current dyslexia pedagogical theories do not yet provide sound results on a micro-level. We want to provide a reading assistance solution that both helps the learner and the dyslexia researcher. In order to archive this, we encode adaptation knowledge in a descriptive way by making use of state-ofthe-art ontology-based techniques. This enables a closed-loop approach of continuous improvement. In this paper, we want to present the overall approach as well as initial results of our work within the EU project AGENT-DYSL.

  Ontology maturing as a conceptual process model is based on the assumption that ontology engineering is a continuous collaborative and informal learning process and always embedded in tasks that make use of the ontology to be developed. For supporting ontology maturing, we need lightweight and easy-to-use tools integrating usage and construction processes of ontologies. Within two applications – ImageNotion for semantic annotation of images and SOBOLEO for semantically enriched social bookmarking – we have shown that such ontology maturing support is feasible with the help of Web 2.0 technologies. In this paper, we want to present the conclusions from two evaluation sessions with end users and summarize requirements for further development.

  This paper argues that a significant part of today’s Semantic Web research is still dominated by ideas from centralized databases. Furthermore, the main thread of reasoning research focusses on approaches that can never scale to anything similar to the Web. Starting from these negative observations we argue that emergent semantics and ontology maturing are more suitable approaches for dealing with ontologies on the Web. Similarly, a few approaches for more Semantic Web appropriate reasoning exist, but are in dire need of realistic use cases.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Most of the current methodologies for building ontologies rely on specialized knowledge engineers. This is in contrast to real-world settings, where the need for maintenance of domain specific ontologies emerges in the daily work of users. But in order to allow for participatory ontology engineering, we need to have a more realistic conceptual model of how ontologies develop in the real world. We introduce the ontology maturing processes which is based on the insight that ontology engineering is a collaborative informal learning process and for which we analyze characteristic evolution steps and triggers that have users engage in ontology engineering within their everyday work processes. This model integrates tagging and folksonomies with formal ontologies and shows maturing pathways between them. As implementations of this model, we present two case studies and the corresponding tools. The first is about image-based ontology engineering (introducing so-called imagenotions), the second about ontology-enabled social bookmarking (SOBOLEO). Both of them are inspired by lightweight Web 2.0 approaches and allow for realtime collaboration.

  AbstractBibTeXEndNote

  Recently, the situatedness of learning has come to the center of attention in both research and practice, also a result of the insight that traditional learning methods in the form of large decontextualized courses lead to inert knowledge; i.e., knowledge that can be reproduced, but not applied to real-world problem solving. In order to avoid the inertness, pedagogy tries to set up authentic learning settings, an approach increasingly shared in e-learning domain. If we consider professional training, it is the immediacy of purpose and context that makes it largely different to learning in schools or academic education. This immediacy has the benefit that we actually have an authentic context that we need to preserve. The majority of current e-learning approaches, however, ignores this context and provides decontextualized forms of learning as a multimedia copy of traditional presence seminars. We show how making learning solutions aware of the context actually affects their architecture and present a showcase solution in the form of the Learning in Process service-oriented architecture.

We explain the motivation, general idea and initial results in terms of user requirements and system architecture. Unlike previously presented approaches, the aim of this system is to monitor the progress and perspectives of a dyslexic user and supply personalised help, taking advantage of modern ICT features. The goal of this personalised help is to gradually increase the reading capabilities of the user, gradually diminish the assistance provided, till he is able to read as a non-dyslexic learner.

  Competency-oriented approaches are gaining ground in human resource development. Key technology to cope with the complexity of fine-grained approaches are ontologies. By having a formal semantics, many competency-related task can be partially automated on a technical level. In this paper, we want to show that ontology-based approaches also foster the sustainability of such approaches on an organizational level by providing connections between the operational and strategic level. We present a reference ontology and a reference process model which have been applied in a hospital case study.

  %X Competency-oriented approaches are gaining ground in human resource development. Key technology to cope with the complexity of fine-grained approaches are ontologies. By having a formal semantics, many competency-related task can be partially automated on a technical level. In this paper, we want to show that ontology-based approaches also foster the sustainability of such approaches on an organizational level by providing connections between the operational and strategic level. We present a reference ontology and a reference process model which have been applied in a hospital case study.

  Ontologiebasierten Kompetenzkatalogen kommt im Rahmen des Kompetenzmanagements eine Schlüsselrolle zu. Auf methodischer Ebene dienen sie dazu, Personalentwicklungsstrategien konstruktiver zu diskutieren sowie strategische und operative Ebene besser miteinander zu vernetzen. Auf technologischer Ebene kann derselbe Katalog bzw. eine unmittelbare Verfeinerung/Erweiterung zur (Teil-)Au-tomatisierung von Personalprozessen genutzt werden, um so kompetenzbasierte Personalentwicklung effizienter zu gestalten. Gezeigt wird dies an zwei Beispielen: dem integrierten Ansatz der DaimlerChrysler AG, Werk Wörth und dem Ansatz zur Bildungsbedarfsplanung und -steuerung am Städtischen Klinikum Karlsruhe. Abschließend soll ein Ausblick gegeben werden, wie Kompetenzkataloge auch zur Unterstützung des Lernens bei Bedarf (z.B. durch Generierung von individuellen Bildungsempfehlungen) am Arbeitsplatz genutzt werden können (am Beispiel des Forschungsprojektes Learning in Process).

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  With the increased pressure towards economic efficiency, hospitals and other healthcare institutions need to reengineer their internal organization and processes. This challenges human resources development with increased efficiency of training in general. We have developed a competence management concept for training planning at a big German hospital with a special focus on critically analyzing the suitability of state-of-the-art ontology-based approaches for the area of nursery. Experiences from the case study show the general feasibility, but also crucial issues summarized in this paper.

  The verbal inter-human exchange forms an important part of informal learning, especially in workplace learning. Where informal learning is taking place within communication, there informal teaching also takes place; but the side of the informal teachers, who are also integrated into work and learning processes, and from which they are distracted from, has been neglected so far. As a method we present in this paper the context-aware mediation of communication between the learner and the informal teacher.

  With increasingly conceiving learning as a social activity, technological support must become more aware of the social context of the individual in order to be able to provide adequate support. But many issues related to making systems socially aware are subject to ongoing research, e.g., the description and mining social relationships, and especially privacy preserva-tion. This paper wants to give a brief overview which possibilities social awareness can offer, and to present a research agenda for realizing these potentials.

  AbstractURLBibTeXEndNote

  Current research in context-awareness is biased toward low-level context information. High-level context information, however, poses several challenges to context management systems, which can be traced back to the asynchronicity of context acquisition and use and the inherent dynamics and imperfection in that process. This paper presents a three layer model allowing for dealing with the problems of imperfection and aging in a controlled way. It conceives the problem of high-level user context management as an information management problem with specific requirements. The approach has been applied to a context-aware learning environment for corporate learning support.
