Fostering knowledge sharing by inverse search

Published: 28 October 2007 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we present the idea of inverse search - an approach that aims to stimulate the diffusion of documents from the private spaces of individual workers into the shared space of an organization. Therefore we derive an organizational information need (OIN) based on query logs and further usage statistics of our system. This information is used to recommend people to share private documents containing relevant knowledge.
