Abstract

This paper brings a contribution focused on collaborative engineering projects where knowledge plays a key role in the process. Collaboration is the arena, engineering projects are the target, knowledge is the currency used to provide harmony into the arena since it can potentially support innovation and, hence, a successful collaboration. Innovation often happens when knowledge (existing, recycled, or new) is combined and it depends on individuals (or groups) holding the appropriate knowledge to provide the required breakthrough. This work aims to support collaborative work carried out by project teams, through a set of knowledge-enabled services context aware. We introduce our conceptual approach (and its respective implementation) supporting a modular set of semantic services based on individual collaboration in a project-based environment, the CoSpaces Knowledge Support (CoSKS) component. CoSKS provides semantic based classification, reasoning and context analysis processes, to support the instantiation of the knowledge spiral and transform it into a semantically contextualized knowledge tree, made out of concepts that best represent contexts. Results achieved so far and future goals pursued by this work are also presented here. This work has been conducted as part of the CoSpaces Integrated project, funded by the European Commission.
