eServices in the area of healthcare are developing quickly. Providing services for researchers in healthcare deals with both complex domain and sophisticated requirements. The objective of this paper is to propose an architecture of an online service to support collaboration of healthcare researchers. The service facilitates the task of seeking collaborators for joint work on producing scientific artefacts. The search of potential collaborators is based on matching the researcher's profile against others' profiles. Profiles are ontology-based and composed of all different scientific-related activities and products of a person. A first prototype of the service was developed in the CLICK project to support researchers in the projects funded by the Vinnvård Programme. The interviews with several users showed appreciation of the usefulness of the tool., CLICK (Computer Supported Collaborative Work through Dynamic Social Networking)

Competence supply methods can contribute to information supply solutions by providing information on available competences and making this information accessible to the decision-makers. When competence profiles are stored in a machine-readable form, competence demand can be translated into a formal query to find matching profiles. However, this requires to use exactly the same skill names as the ones from the profile representations. This paper proposes to enrich ontology-based competence profiles with the help of Wiktionary data accessible via a SPARQL endpoint. The endpoint makes it possible to get lexicographic information (definitions, translations, synonyms) from Wiktionary. The procedure of enrichment with synonyms and system architecture supporting it are developed and tested in an experiment with profiles of software developers. The experiment showed the viability of the approach., Context Based Retrieval in Digital Libraries (CoReLib2)

Collaborative design in dispersed groups of engineers creates various kinds of challenges to technology, organization and social environment. Selected examples are knowledge sharing, coordination support or secure tool integration (Jacucci, Pawlak, & Sandkuhl, 2005). Work presented in this chapter is located in the area of formation of teams for collaborative design. The challenge addressed is how to describe and represent the competences needed for a planned collaborative design project in a way that those individuals best suited for the collaboration can be identified. The proposed approach is to apply ontology engineering to modeling competences of individuals, including different competence areas like cultural competences, professional competences or occupational competences.

Collaborative design in dispersed groups of engineers creates various kinds of challenges to technology, organization and social environment. This paper presents an approach to description and representation of the competences needed for a planned collaborative design project. The most important competence areas are identified starting from the nature of design work, problem solving in design teams, and working in distributed groups. The competence model is built structuring these areas according to three perspectives: general, cultural, and occupational competences. An ontological representation is proposed to implement the described model for collaborative design competence. Using an ontology language for representation of collaborative design competence models makes it possible to identify those individuals who are best suited for the collaboration by ontology matching. Furthermore, a software design team consisting of two persons was interviewed and competence profiles were created using the developed ontological representation. Modeling of the team members has confirmed that the proposed approach can be applied to modeling competences needed for collaborative design in engineering fields.

When manufacturers, distributors and dealers need to collaborate, they form production networks because this provides significant advantages in production variety, flexibility and lead time. Production processes in such networks often spawn different specific tasks that are to be solved by the network members. This requires creation of a team able to tackle the identified problem. When dealing with multiple organizations and multiple processes within a complicated production network, trying to find a member that has required competence can be a laborious, time-consuming process. Developing and main-taining competence profiles of all the relevant parties associated with produc-tion can significantly reduce the time. The paper proposes an approach to team configuration based on competence profiles. The approach utilizes such tech-nologies as ontology management, context management and profiling. Using ontological representation makes it possible to identify those team members who are best suited for the task by ontology matching.
