KOM – Multimedia Communications Lab
The web is increasingly used as an information source to gain new knowledge but the management of found web pages can be a challenging task. Often social tagging systems are used for resource management. Besides the obvious use of tags – organizing a collection of web resources – they support functionalities like sharing resources with other users and recommendation of further possibly relevant web pages. In ELWMS we develop novel concepts and an application based on an extended tagging concept to support these resource management. One aspect is the apposition of semantic information to tags and tagging fragments of web pages instead of whole web page. Sharing and semiautomatic merging of the individual knowledge networks make collaboration possible.
Overall we want to support different steps of Resource Management which are part of resource based learning by one tool the ELWMS. The different steps are shown in the picture below.
ELWMS consists of three major components:
1. An ELWMS Firefox Plugin to persist, organize, and annotate Web Resources in the Web Browser during research.
2. A Knowledge Base based on the k-infinity Software as backend for storage of all information and resources.
3. An ELWMS Portal for searching and browsing of Resources in the knowlegde network
