Abstract

Knowledge economy is more and more collaborative and decentralized, where knowledge is defined, used and shared across different groups and domains. Sharing this knowledge allows users to create knowledge-based communities but introduces security risks to organizations when confidential data is disclosed to competitors. This paper describes a semantic framework to define knowledge-based communities where users can share knowledge across organizations posing and enforcing access and privacy policies. In addition, it also provides a graphical tool to represent and visualize those communities facilitating the understanding of their relations and the content within them. In addition, it presents the evaluation carried out by a group of triallists from two commercial departments.
