Ontologies - rich representations permit reasoning, but with a creation and maintenance cost

Folksonomies- no overhead cost, but limited knowledge representation capability

Marrying the formal and informal approaches to knowledge representation

Task context

Information glut leads to overload and constant task-switching

Context-driven solutions- learning & using context- understanding priorities

Delivering information in context

Knowledge processes

Learn, codify, reuse and share … modify & share again

informal – created by their users
