KASIMIR - Work process embedded task management leveraging the Semantic Desktop

: The effectiveness of semantic applications can be increased significantly if the system does not urge the users to take care of explicit semantic annotation creation. Today, semantic annotation creation is a well known bottleneck in semantic applications for enterprises. On the other hand semantic technologies have already proven to facilitate, e.g., a more efficient information management especially for knowledge workers (KWs). We pursue in this paper the central idea of using task management as a means for extracting semantic annotations out of the daily work activities in a way that is associated with minimal effort for the KW. To ensure the success of such an approach, a broad acceptance of the task management application by the KWs is a precondition. For this, we present the KASIMIR prototype that embeds task management into the daily work activities of a KW. It facilitates the creation of semantic annotations in form of attributes as well as relations between tasks, users and i...
