The taxonomy is then used for semantic search and indexing of a knowledge base of scientific competences, called Knowledge Map. The KMap is a system to support research collaborations and sharing of results within and beyond a European Network of Excellence. The methodology is general and can be applied to model any web community - starting from the documents shared and exchanged among the community members - and to use this model for improving accessibility of data and knowledge repositories.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/466","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/0466.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/466.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/bibtex/466","volume":{"slug":"2007","title":"Proceedings of the Twentieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2007","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/","year":2007,"location":"Hyderabad, India","dates":"","editors":"Ramon López de Mántaras","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":466,"pages":{"first":2897,"last":2901},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
