“…Originally proposed as an extension or a complement of the SemWeb, the PragWeb addresses topics such as context and meaning negotiation in the Web (Singh, 2002;Schoop et al, 2006). Moreover, studies including Speech Act Theory (SAT) (Austin, 1962;Searle, 1976) and Organizational Semiotics (OS) (Liu, 2000) provide useful and important methods to identify and quantify aspects related to intentions (and pragmatics in general) of communication acts.…”

Abstract:Web-based collaborative systems are potentially a rich source of knowledge for lifelong learning and professional development. In these systems, practitioners can share messages about their problems on daily work activities. These messages can also be used for analytical purposes, e.g., for understanding the development of a discussion as well as for evaluating how a system supports different types of conversations. These possibilities depend on a proper classification and adequate recovery of the messages regarding semantic and pragmatic aspects. The construction of a knowledge representation model that considers the pragmatic aspects of the messages is still an open research challenge. Such a model might support an intention-based retrieval of messages. In this investigation we argue that a model of this nature must include the association of semantics with illocutionary aspects of the users' communication. This paper proposes an ontology using Semantic Web standards to associate messages to illocutions and ontology terms, as an integrated representation. The proposed model is grounded in the Pragmatic Web perspective including Semiotics and Speech Act Theory. Furthermore, we conduct a case study with scenarios of two different systems, where special education specialists share problems of their daily work activities.

“…One aspect of the pragmatic web (de Moor et al, 2002;Allwood, 2008;Schoop et al, 2006) is to provide agents with the ability to learn new languages, i.e., to discover by playing a 'language game' how to translate between their language of origin and related languages of discourse. The aim of this paper is to follow up on this aspect and to present a method of automated translations between formal languages with overlapping domains of discourse.…”

Abstract:In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the pragmatic web as an extension of the semantic web. After preliminary sketches and initial ideas, more formal attempts at characterising and defining pragmatic aspects of the web have recently emerged. Although some amount of scientific research and a number of applications have appeared under the name of the pragmatic web, there is not yet a common agreement on what the pragmatic web should be and how it should be formalised. In this paper, we consider the pragmatic web to be an augmentation of the semantic web with virtual agents exploiting web content on behalf of human contractors.

“…In particular, we claim that the problem of social sustainability can be tackled through the lenses of a semiotic ladder [4], which offers us a key to understand how to unfold integration into its different components (physical, empiric, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and social), as shown in Fig.1. This paper is based on the theoretical assumptions derived in [26], that highlight how a sound and appropriate support to the higher levels of the semiotic ladder could be achieved through a perspective approach -rooted into both the socio-semantic web [5] and the pragmatic web [6] paradigms -which couples formal and social interaction in virtual worlds. In particular, Multi User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) are considered suitable environments for supplying digital habitats to VEs/VTs which are sustainable both from a social and economic point of view.…”

Abstract. Thanks to ICT, new organizational forms are emerging that keep the pace of an increasingly demanding competitive environment. Among them, Virtual Enterprises (VEs) and Virtual Teams (VTs) represent two challenging organizational forms from the point of view of effective management.An open issue in VEs/VTs is the social and economical sustainability of knowledge sharing in virtual environments, which is often underestimated. We address it from the point of view of "virtual worlds" and developed a prototypal solution that facilitates the cooperative building/sharing of knowledge representation.
