CURRENT TEAM
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT – CHANGING LANDSCAPES AND INSTRUMENTS Increasing interaction and collaboration Emergence of Social Software
Importance of contextual information
Beneficial for KM activities To be captured and re-used Lack of context representation in current systems Missing standards
Our aim: Specification for contextual information
CURRENT STANDARDIZATION EFFORTS Technical standards (document formats, metadata)
Dublin Core Learning Object Metadata (LOM) Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) IMS Learning Design Specification Contextualized attention metadata (CAM) RDF, OWL OOXML, PDF, ODF
Human-oriented standards (guidelines and good practices)

Description
Knowledge Activity (KA)
Goal directed actions within a user's context
Knowledge Activity Stream (KAS)
Time-ordered list of knowledge activities (user-centric perspective)
Knowledge Trace (KT)
Codified representation of a user's action that captures contextual information
Contextual Information
Information, e.g. time, place, actions performed on knowledge objects as well as related people and their skills
Knowledge Object (KO)
Codified knowledge of externalized knowledge (e.g. paragraphs, tables, figures, mind maps)
Knowledge Bundle (KB)
Collection of knowledge traces that are affiliated to a knowledge object (object-centric perspective)
Knowledge Container (KC)
A set of knowledge objects and their corresponding knowledge bundles 6

CONCLUSION & OUTLOOK We need new ways of representing knowledge management in standards. The paper identifies six major concepts that are needed to foster knowledge exchange between social environments. This work represents an initial step of the development towards a potential standard . Next steps Development of ontology-based standard Develop use cases Open discourse (Discuss, Test, Improve!)
