Helene Bestougeff, Universite de Marne Ia Vallee, France
Jacques-Emile Dubois, Universite Paris VII-Denis Diderot, France
Bhavani Thuraisingham, MITRE Corporation, USA The last fifty years
promoted the conceptual trio: Knowledge, Information and Data (KID)
to the center of our present scientific technological and human
activities. The intrusion of the Internet drastically modified the
historical cycles of communication between authors, providers and
users. Today, information is often the result of the interaction
between data and the knowledge based on their comprehension,
interpretation and prediction. Nowadays important goals involve the
exchange of heterogeneous information, as many real life and even
specific scientific and technological problems are all
interdisciplinary by nature. For a specific project, this signifies
extracting information, data and even knowledge from many different
sources that must be addressed by interoperable programs. Another
important challenge is that of corporations collaborating with each
other and forming coalitions and partnerships. One development
towards achieving this challenge is organizational hubs. This
concept is new and still evolving. Much like an airport hub serving
air traffic needs, organizational hubs are central platforms that
provide information and collaboration specific to a group of users'
needs. Now companies are creating hubs particular to certain types
of industries. The users of hubs are seen as communities for which
all related information is directly available without further
searching efforts and often with value-added services.
