Presents a tool that does Bayesian consensus analysis - Schemer - use an expert's 'competency evaluation' to weight the answers accordingly "cross-organizational forums and informal sharing of information among those who experience greater face-to-face contact may contribute more to learning and knowledge formation than hiring practices and interactions structured more strictly along organizational boundaries." - problem with consensus: where do you find a statistically relevant set of experts? online perhaps, use a web of trust idea. Reference FOAF - don't see the consensus involved, seems more referendum on the concepts - consensus implies universal agreement no? - paper has a weak ending, they haven't actually done much with the SW, but point to some possibilities - "There is an opportunity to harness the same social-cultural processes that fostered the creation, growth and success of the current Web to evolve rich ontologies."}, description = {The {E}mergent {S}emantic {W}eb: {A} {C}onsensus {A}pproach for {D}eriving {S}emantic {K}nowledge on the {W}eb}, interhash = {cbed9a43f5e0d8787d5d8a348caa74a7}, intrahash = {5edf40c9c7556be1aff3fff153d6fc2a}, keywords = {article develop knowledge semantic software}, pdf = {kashyap-emergent-semantic-web.pdf}, priority = {0}, timestamp = {2008-07-20T15:03:22.000+0200}, title = {The {E}mergent {S}emantic {W}eb: {A} {C}onsensus {A}pproach for {D}eriving {S}emantic {K}nowledge on the {W}eb}, url = {http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nernst/papers/kashyap-emergent-semantic-web.pdf}, year = 2001 }
