MemoNote, an annotation-based personal knowledge management tool for teachers

Abstract : This article aims to propose a personal knowledge management tool based on annotation, MemoNote, dedicated to teacher. The teacher is considered as a knowledge worker. MemoNote makes use of the teacher's annotation activity to memorize his/her personal conception about the document content, (in particular the domain and the pedagogy knowledge). This paper identifies three general requirements for the annotation object in such a tool to enable the teacher to manage his/her document-related personal knowledge. A set of annotation objects is formalized with a function from cognitive and personal facets set to knowledge facets set. This model is implemented into MemoNote tool in both desktop and web versions using semantic web standards.
