INTELLIGENT KNOWLEDGE RETRIEVAL THROUGH COLLABORATIVE KNOWLEDGE SHARING

recommendation of knowledge content and a means of inferring user interest. The systematic grouping of personal bookmarks leads to specialized knowledge clusters; also the comparison of bookmarks allows to determine the commonality of interests amongst community members. Our proposed knowledge sharing solution is envisaged to provide the following opportunities: (a) commonality and expertise of users can be leveraged to support the ability to automatically "push" relevant knowledge to selected users; (b) the essence of bookmarks as a knowledge store can be enhanced through the development of a conceptual domain hierarchy derived from the analysis of how users tend to cluster their personal bookmarks
