Abstract

Nowadays, we can find a variety of Knowledge-Building Environments (KBEs). A proposal of KBE for communities interested in generating a common corpus of quality knowledge is presented in this work. This innovative KBE combines in an integrated and complementary way the functionalities of two tested and validated Knowledge Management Web-based systems: Sofia and KnowCat. On the one hand, the Sofia system provides the ability to externalize tacit knowledge, through the group storytelling approach. On the other hand, the KnowCat system provides the crystallization of collective explicit knowledge thanks of its Knowledge Crystallization mechanism.
