Abstract
The work presented in this paper is about learning in Communities of Practices (CoP). It is situated in the context of Knowledge Management (KM) services that we are developing in the Palette project dedicated to learning in CoPs. The approach is based on several models detailed in this paper. These models constitute the theoretical grounding upon which the KM services will be based; they are organized in order to constitute a generic meta-ontology, from which a CoP-dependent ontology can be built, so as to annotate the CoP’s knowledge resources.
