Title
A Reference Ontology for Profile Representation in Communities of Practice.
Abstract
Communities of Practice (CoP) integrate people in a group in order to learn in a collaborative way. In these communities it is necessary to establish a formal and standardized representation of the interests and the knowledge that emerges from the CoP. With this scenario in mind, this paper presents a reference ontology for a user profile representation in a CoP framework. The main idea of this framework is to realize that a foundation for the semantic web is feasible to aggregate on virtual communities in the context of collaborative learning. The concern of this work is to establish a reference ontology for the general profile that can be used as guidelines to build a computational CoP framework for realizing such a foundation.
