Description |
We are investigating Web Logs ('blogs') as a new paradigm for distributed knowledge
construction and sensemaking, whether for Open University students, or communities
of interest of any sort. Our interest in Semantic Blogging flows from ongoing research
themes in KMi on hypermedia discourse and social software.
Semantic Blogging is for us an intruiging convergence of practices and tools which
could help us address long-standing challenges and themes in Knowledge Media:
How can we support distributed sensemaking and argumentation with tools that are both
intuitive enough to be quickly learnt, flexible enough for widespread adoption in
everyday work, but provide enough semantics for computational support?
How can human-generated narrative co-exist and synergise with computational-semantics
to create hybrid layers of meaning?
How do people adopt, break, customize and share metadata schemes?
How can we provide summaries and filters over complex networks of interweaving commentary
and inter-document connection? |
