Supporting Knowledge Sharing in a Community with Divergence
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a technological approach that allows communities to coexist with conflicts and leaves that agreed knowledge emerges naturally, by the simple act of sharing knowledge. On the top of a collaborative workspace for developing a shared knowledge repository, we put forward: a mechanism for maintain the threads discussions, a knowledge awareness mechanism to be up-to-date about discussion threads and its evolution, and user centred workspace to support personal view of the shared repository with the capability of adding private knowledge.
