Knowledge sharing is a major challenge for collaborative networks and is essential to improve the productivity and quality of decisions taken by both collaborative networks and their member organisations. A critical aspect of effective knowledge sharing within virtual organizations (VOs) is the identification of the most appropriate knowledge for reuse or exploitation in a particular context, as this requires efficient tools and mechanisms for its identification, sharing or transfer. Additionally, partners need to be aware of when knowledge needs to be shared, the implications of doing so and when their decisions are likely to affect other partners within the collaboration. Therefore, tools and methods are needed for identification, acquisition, maintenance and evolution of knowledge and to support effective knowledge sharing which includes awareness of possible consequences of actions and increased awareness of other partner’s needs during the collaboration. This seminar discusses the evolution of Moderator Services from first application in the MOSES research project to its current application in SYNERGY research project as collaboration moderator services (CMS) funded by European commission. A moderator is a specialist software system that supports collaborative working by raising awareness of the priorities and requirements of other contributors. We proposed Knowledge discOvery And daTa mining inteGrated (KOATING) framework for Moderators to enable them to continuously learn from the operational databases of the company and semi-automatically update their knowledge about team members. This seminar will further discuss how KOATING framework can:
• Be used to support knowledge based collaboration by extracting useful knowledge from the past project reports using a case study from construction industry.
• Raise awareness of business opportunity and possible collaborative between the members of the collaborative network using techniques from text mining using a case study.
