Abstract:
Collaborative systems provide support for users that work together for achieving a common goal. In the past years, several ad-hoc models have been proposed in order to model collaborative activities in such systems. This paper proposes a shareable model for collaboration, the Generic Collaboration Ontology, that can be used by systems in runtime in order to implement session management and component deployment services. This model is an OWL ontology containing SWRL rules, and therefore it can be processed with standard Semantic Web tools in order to perform inference. This ontology is generic because it does not contain domainspecificknowledge, and it can be extended for specific domains.
