DMC-Distributed and Mobile Collaboration Workshop Report

Recent distributed and mobile collaboration technologies enable people to work in nomadic, dynamic teams. In these teams, team-members frequently join and leave the team, change their geographic location, or invite external experts to contribute their expertise. Therefore, the ability to query the company's distributed knowledge base and the search for experts in a specific domain even across enterprise boundaries are key requirements for systems supporting knowledge workers. To enable the collaboration across enterprise boundaries, many recent systems take advantages of Semantic Web technologies.
