Description
Interactive Knowledge is an integrating project targeted
at the hundreds of SMEs in Europe, which are providing technology platforms for content and knowledge management to thousands of end user organisations. Downstream, hundred-thousands of corporate end users and millions of content consumers are affected by the quality of service provided through these platforms. The majority of these platforms lack the capability for making use of semantic web enabled, intelligent content, and therefore, lack the capacity for users to interact with the content at the user‘s knowledge level!
The major technological result of the project will be the "Interactive Knowledge Stack", a layered set of software components and specifications which will make traditional content management platforms capable of dealing with the future "Semantic Web".

Item type:Publication, Towards Empirically Validated Ubiquitous Information Systems : Results from a Pretest and Three Empirical StudiesResearch on ubiquitous information systems (UIS) has recently gained attention in the IS community. But dedicated empirical instruments that are robust and capture individual characteristics of UIS are still missing. A rather new empirical construct derived from Task-Technology Fit theory was proposed and denoted as Situation-Service Fit (SSF). This paper shows how SSF can be used within the Situational Design Method for IS, a design method tailored to UIS. For this purpose, the SSF instrument is first tested for face validity as well as discriminant and convergent validity. Then, SSF is evaluated as a predictor variable of behavioral intentions to use services that are embedded in UIS. Hereby, also discriminant validity of SSF with regard to perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use is assessed. For this purpose, data from a four-year EU project is used, which includes a pretest and three empirical user studies. Results show that SSF can be a significant predictor of service usage. However, validity issues still exist and thus, further research on the SSF instrument is recommended.Type:conference paperVolume:online - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, IKS Deliverable - D2.1 Report: AMI Case Requirements SpecificationRestricted Deliverable - The objective of this deliverable is to provide requirements for the development of interactive knowledge-supported ambient environments. In order to identify these requirements, we have developed and applied a new design methodology that is grounded in Information Systems design science research. Therefore, we first identified business needs for an ambient bath environment together with an industrial partner before we evaluated them empirically with the help of mock-ups. In addition, we adopted a bottom up approach to review existing technical architectures for ambient environments based upon which we are able to provide a preliminary architecture. As a result from both approaches, we suggest business and technical requirements for the development and evaluation of the AMI application, which are the next steps within this project (see Tasks 4.1 and 6.1).Type:work report - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A Pattern-based Ontology Building Method for Ambient Environments(2009-10-25); Janzen, SabineAmbient environments are characterized by an ever increasing amount of information that needs to be selected and organized in order to make correct assumptions about users, entities, etc. within a specific context. This issue can be addressed by using ontologies that meet the specific requirements of such environments. In this paper, we survey ontology engineering methods that represent an adequate approach to creating adequate ontologies. Because unprecedented, we introduce a Pattern-based Ontology Building Method for Ambient Environments (POnA) and exemplify this method through the development of a domain-specific ontology for cosmetic products within ambient shopping environmentsType:conference paperJournal:CEUR Workshop Proceedings - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Supporting Cooking Tasks by a Smart Formulation TableKitchen environments are target of many Ubiquitous Computing prototypes that investigate the application of technologies in real-world situations. In this paper, we present a design-driven approach that carefully analyzes domain theories, identifies requirements for human task support, derives services accordingly, and uses these descriptions for guiding implementations. We focus on how preparation and concocting tasks can be supported by a formulation table with integrated scaling mechanism and a set of dedicated information services.Type:conference paperScopus© Citations 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Semantic Technologies in Content Management Systems : Trends, Applications and EvaluationsContent Management Systems (CMSs) are used in almost every industry by millions of end-user organizations. In contrast to the 90s, they are no longer used as isolated applications in one organization but they support critical core operations in business ecosystems. Content management today is more interactive and more integrative: interactive because end-users are increasingly content creators themselves and integrative because content elements can be embedded into various other applications. The authors of this book investigate how Semantic Technologies can increase interactivity and integration capabilities of CMSs and discuss their business value to millions of end-user organizations. This book has therefore the objective, to reflect existing applications as well as to discuss and present new applications for CMSs that use Semantic Technologies. An evaluation of 27 CMSs concludes this book and provides a basis for IT executives that plan to adopt or replace a CMS in the near future.Type:book - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, In-store Consumer Behavior : How Mobile Recommendation Agents Influence Usage Intentions, Product Purchases, and Store PreferencesProduct information given in purchase situations influences purchase behavior. In online purchase situations, the use of recommendation agents increases the value of product information as information becomes adaptive and thus more relevant to consumers' information needs. Correspondingly, mobile recommendation agents (MRAs) may also increase the value of product information in bricks-and-mortar stores. In this sense, product information is not only adaptive but can also be requested at any place such as in front of products consumers are interested in. Because unprecedented, we investigate the use of a MRA that is virtually bound to a physical product via an RFID-enabled mobile device and provides product information. Based on Theory of Planned Behavior, Innovation Diffusion Theory, and Technology Acceptance Model, we develop a model to better understand the impact of MRAs on usage intentions, product purchases and store preferences of consumers. This model is then tested in a lab experiment (n = 47). Among high usability scores, results indicate that perceived usefulness of a MRA influences product purchases, predicts usage intentions and store preferences of consumers. Thus, new business models for retail stores can be considered in which MRAs satisfy both the information needs of consumers and the communication needs of retailersType:journal articleJournal:Computers in Human BehaviorVolume:26Issue:4Scopus© Citations 140 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, The Use of Free and Paid Digital Product Reviews on Mobile Devices in In-Store Purchase Situations(Athens University of Economics & Business, 2009-09-27); ; Digital product reviews provided by users and experts are used as purchase decision cues. In contrast to reviews obtained by websites on the desktop, it is open if they are adopted in in-store purchase situations on mobile devices. In addition, it is an open issue to which degree free digital product reviews provided by users or paid digital product reviews provided by experts are adopted and influence consumers' preferences for stores that offer access to them. To answer these questions, a theoretical model is proposed based on Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). Then, the model is empirically evaluated by conducting a study with 116 subjects. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), one-sample t-tests and Pearson correlation coefficients are used to examine the data. Results indicate that digital product reviews are adopted on mobile devices in in-store purchase situations, especially when they are provided for free and refer to consumer electronics. On average, consumers are willing to pay 2.9 percent of the product's price for a corresponding review. Based on these findings, new business models for providers of reviews and store managers are conceivable that extend physical products with free or paid digital content through the use of product identification technologies at the point of sale.Type:conference paper
