Design processes as learning processes
h b d d lDesign processes have to be understood as learning processes
Interwoven modelling & application processes • Interwoven modelling & application processes (often work-integrated)
• Deepening the understanding along the modeling process• Increasing level of formalization• Should be subject to continuous improvement processes
lSpecializations• task-embedded ontology engineering („ontology maturing“)
distributed software engineering in complex domains• distributed software engineering in complex domains• reusability of software components

Purpose
k l d kSupporting knowledge workers
working together in one domainworking together in one domain
in developing a shared ontology &in developing a shared ontology &
a shared index of relevant web resources
organized with this ontology

Procedure
f d b h dd h1. User finds a new web resource she wants to add to the shared index
2. Annotating with concepts from the ontology or arbitrary tagsarbitrary tags
3. Gathering arbitrary tags as “prototypical concepts” for g y g p yp plater consolidation and placement
4. Structuring concepts with taxonomic relations according to the SKOS Core Vocabulary

Hands-on Hands on Phases
21MATURE - Continuous Social Learning in Knowledge Networks
Phase 1: Individual & Collaborative Tagging
’Time: 40’Resources to work with
h // l i /• http://www.elearningpapers.eu/• Clusters as a seed concepts
To DosTo Dos• Read and tag papers according to your interests in SOBOLEO• Introduce new tags as you see fitIntroduce new tags as you see fit• Watch what others are doing
22
Group Building
’Time: 10’Resources to work with• none
To DosYou will have to clean up your mess ( consolidate) in the next • You will have to clean up your mess (=consolidate) in the next phase
• Form groups of 3-5 persons according to thematic interests
23
Phase 2: Consolidation & New Resources
Ti 50’Time: 50’Resources to work with• Tagged resources and concepts in SOBOLEO flipchart & cards• Tagged resources and concepts in SOBOLEO, flipchart & cards
(use whatever you need)• Select a set of new papers you have personally bookmarked
(not in SOBOLEO)(not in SOBOLEO)
To Dos• Try to arrive at a shared and consolidated conceptualization y p
(face to face or online) and input it into SOBOLEO• Tag your selected new papers in SOBOLEO• Check how the shared conceptualization matches these • Check how the shared conceptualization matches these
resources• Keep discussing and consolidating while adding new resources
