Objective/Scope:
METOKIS will create an architecture and tools for producing, exchanging, and trading knowledge units. Such units are conceived as self-describing knowledge and content structures that are tailored to support defined tasks within the overall workflow of knowledge workers.
For the knowledge units, METOKIS will develop a prototypic carrier architecture which builds on open standards as well as models of units that are created from multimedia assets and contain state-of-the art semantic annotation.
Based on task analyses in three knowledge workers' scenarios, METOKIS will also build real-world applications - each with differing knowledge content requirements. The three scenarios include definition and evaluation of treatment protocols for clinical trials; an educational on-line learning system for migrants; and a decision support system for senior executives.
