Description & Coverage
Description:

Today's work is characterized by a high degree of innovation and thus demands a thorough overview of relevant knowledge in the world and in organizations. Semantic Work Environments support the work of the user by collecting knowledge about needs and providing processed and improved knowledge to be integrated into work.

Emerging Technologies for Semantic Work Environments: Techniques, Methods, and Applications describes an overview of the emerging field of Semantic Work Environments by combining various research studies and underlining the similarities between different processes, issues and approaches in order to provide the reader with techniques, methods, and applications of the study.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • 21st century journalism
  • Data Modeling
  • DeepaMehta
  • Knowledge Management
  • Learning in process approach
  • Library help desk service
  • Semantic project-driven work environments
  • Semantic social software
  • Semantic Web
  • Semantic Wiki
  • Semantic work environments
  • Semantic work support
  • Semi-automatic semantic annotation
  • Social semantic collaboration
  • Web 2.0
Reviews & Statements

This book provides an overview of the field of semantic work environments by bringing together various research studies from different subfields and underlining the similarities between the different processes, issues, and approaches.
