All Rights Reserved, Copyright © FUJITSU LABORATORIES LTD What is KNOW-WHO Function of Knowledge Management. Ex) Looking for experts with the specific skill. How to collect, represent and maintain personal knowledge (so-called Profile )? Previous Approaches Manual Profile Registration. High maintenance costs. Attribute-Value pairs. Too simple to represent complex personal knowledge.
All Rights Reserved, Copyright © FUJITSU LABORATORIES LTD Our Approach How to collect and maintain profiles 1. Automatic Profile Extraction from Related Resources. How to represent profiles 2. Graph Expression by using RDF. How to retrieve profiles 3. Combination of Structured full-text Search and Text Mining Visualization. Meeting Document ( , Paper,…) ServicesPersons PlaceContents Search Engine Group An example of Related Resources of humans routine work What information does he output? (= personal skill) What information does he input? (= personal interest) With whom does he work? (= personal connection network)

Know-Who searching procedure in WorkWare++ with the following steps. M1. Find target technologies from topic keywords. (Technical Term Map). M2. Find skilled groups of the target technology. (Personal Connection Map). M3. Find the most skilled people in the group. (Personal Skill Map).

All Rights Reserved, Copyright © FUJITSU LABORATORIES LTD How to make Technical Term Map 1. Search Document objects with a topic keyword. 2. Select Employee objects with the connection link from Document s Author to Employee s Name. 3. Get an organization name from Employee. 4.
