Knowledge is commonly socially constructed, through collaborative efforts towards shared objectives or by dialogues and challenges brought about by different persons' perspectives.

The term web genre denotes the type of a given web resource, in contrast to the topic of its content. In this research, we focus on recognizing the web genres blog, wiki and forum. We present a set of features that exploit the hierarchical structure of the web page's HTML mark-up and thus, in contrast to related approaches, do not depend on a linguistic analysis of the page's content. Our results show that it is possible to achieve a very good accuracy for a fully language independent detection of structured web genres.

Böhnstedt, Doreen, Scholl, Philipp, Rensing, Christoph and Steinmetz, Ralf (2009): Collaborative Semantic Tagging of Web Resources on the Basis of Individual Knowledge Networks. In: Proceedings of the 2009 Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization 2009. pp. 379-384.
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. This paper describes a novel application based on an extended tagging concept that can improve resource management and recommendation. Adding semantic information to tags and tagging fragments of web pages instead of whole web pages enhance the possibilities of well-known tagging applications. Individual knowledge networks are the basis of this tagging concept. A first prototype is developed as proof of concept.

In: Marks, Joe and Mynatt, Elizabeth D. (eds.) Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology November 11 - 14, 2001, Orlando, Florida. pp. 11-20.
We present the ConnecTable, a new mobile, networked and context-aware
information appliance that provides affordances for pen-based individual and
cooperative work as well as for the seamless transition between the two. In
order to dynamically enlarge an interaction area for the purpose of shared use,
a flexible coupling of displays has been realized that overcomes the
restrictions of display sizes and borders. Two ConnecTable displays dynamically
form a homogeneous display area when moved close to each other. The appropriate
triggering signal comes from built-in sensors allowing users to temporally
combine their individual displays to a larger shared one by a simple physical
movement in space. Connected ConnecTables allow their users to work in parallel
on an ad-hoc created shared workspace as well as exchanging information by
simply shuffling objects from one display to the other. We discuss the user
interface and related issues as well as the software architecture. We also
present the physical realization of the ConnecTables.

In: Altom, Mark W. and Williams, Marian G. (eds.) Proceedings of the ACM CHI 99 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conference May 15-20, 1999, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. pp. 120-127.
We describe the i-LAND environment which constitutes an example of our vision of the workspaces of the future, in this case supporting cooperative work of dynamic teams with changing needs. i-LAND requires and provides new forms of human-computer interaction and new forms of computer-supported cooperative work. Its design is based on an integration of information and architectural spaces, implications of new work practices and an empirical requirements study informing our design. i-LAND consists of several 'roomware' components, i.e. computer-augmented objects integrating room elements with information technology. We present the current realization of i-LAND in terms of an interactive electronic wall, an interactive table, two computer-enhanced chairs, and two "bridges" for the Passage-mechanism. This is complemented by the description of the creativity support application and the technological infrastructure. The paper is accompanied by a video figure in the CHI'99 video program.
