COMBEK seeks to address the need for research that explores and embraces the novel, challenging but crucial issue of adapting knowledge resources to their user communities, and using them as a key instrument in building knowledgeintensive Internet systems. Through a deep understanding of the real-time, community-driven, evolution of shared knowledge structures and knowledge bases, including ontologies, folksonomies, and/or shared conceptual models, a Web-based knowledge-intensive system can be made operationally relevant and sustainable over long periods of time.
