Semantic Positioning as a Means for Visual Knowledge Structuring

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4227))

Abstract

This contribution introduces a new concept for the cooperative visual structuring of knowledge. We distinguish this from traditional methods of knowledge organisation. We will show through an example of use, based on virtual knowledge spaces, how our procedure can be used productively in teaching. First experiences support the potential of this concept, and raise associated new challenges. In the age of cooperative distributed knowledge organisation we estimate a growing importance for this type of structuring knowledge as a part of media supported learning processes.
