The changes in the dynamics of the economy and thecorresponding mobility and fluctuations of knowledge workers within organizationsmake continuous social learning an essential factor for an organization.Within the underlying organizational processes, KnowledgeMaturing refers to the the corresponding evolutionary process in whichknowledge objects are transformed from informal and highly contextualizedartifacts into explicitly linked and formalized learning objects.In this work, we will introduce a definition of Knowledge (Maturing)Services and will present a collection of sample services that can be dividedinto service functionality classes supporting Knowledge Maturingin content networks. Furthermore, we developed an application of thesesample services, a demonstrator which supports quality assurance withina highly content based organisational context.

Effective learning support in organizations requires a flexible and personalizedtoolset that brings together the individual and the organizational perspectiveon learning. Such toolsets need a service-oriented infrastructure of reusable knowledgeand learning services as an enabler. This contribution focuses on conceptualfoundations for such an infrastructure as it is being developed within the MATUREIP and builds on the knowledge maturing process model on the one hand, and theseeding-evolutionary growth-reseeding model on the other hand. These theories areused to derive maturing services, for which initial examples are presented.

Work-integrated learning (WIL) poses unique challenges for usermodel design: on the one hand users’ knowledge levels need to be determinedbased on their work activities – testing is not a viable option; on the other handusers do interact with a multitude of different work applications – there is nocentral learning system. This contribution introduces a user model and correspondingservices (based on SOA) geared to enable unobtrusive adaptabilitywithin WIL environments. Our hybrid user model services interpret usage datain the context of enterprise models (semantic approaches) and utilize heuristics(scruffy approaches) in order to determine knowledge levels, identify subjectmatter experts, etc. We give an overview of different types of user model services(logging, production, inference, control), provide a reference implementationwithin the APOSDLE project, and discuss early evaluation results.
