Abstract

We consider a knowledge management scenario in which members of an academic community collaboratively construct and share a common archive of news items. Given this scenario, a number of knowledge management challenges arise: how to organize a speedy, low overhead publication process which can nevertheless yield high quality results; how to provide semantic search and knowledge retrieval facilities in an effective and sustainable way; how best to provide individualized presentations and news alerts. To address these questions we have drawn on a number of technologies, including knowledge modelling, autonomous agents, software visualization, knowledge acquisition and distributed computing. In the paper we describe the resulting Planet-Onto architecture, which provides an integrated set of tools to support news publishing, ontology-driven document formalization, story identification and personalized news feeds and alerts.
