This paper is an attempt to answer the question “How to design for engagement in community-oriented knowledge management?” In order to do this we need an approach that has its primary focus on distinguishing, balancing, connecting and negotiating between knowledge in its two fundamental dimensions: individual and social. The concept of “knowledge cooperation” that we have defined as “the participative cultivation of knowledge in a voluntary, informal social group”, is our proposal for fulfilling the previously mentioned requirements.

This paper describes an approach to conceptual analysis and understanding of natural language in which linguistic knowledge centers on individual words, and the analysis mechanisms consist of interactions among distributed procedural experts representing that knowledge. Each word expert models the process of diagnosing the intended usage of a particular word in context. The Word Expert Parser performs conceptual analysis through the Interactlons of tl~e individual experts, which ask questions and exchange information in converging on a single mutually acceptable sentence meaning. ...
