摘要：The success of collaborative hypermedia systems in business, engineering, or humanities heavily
depends on the discursive nature of knowledge creation. Informing systems that assist crossdisciplinary
communities of practice in these fields should therefore be able to capture, to visualize,
and to support the ongoing scientific discourse to keep participants informed and committed
to the knowledge creation process. We present a solution for this issue, using the MECCA discourse
support system for a movie research community as an example. MECCA integrates research
processes with teaching processes in the humanities. Our study demonstrates that knowledge
creation discourses involve a lot of re-¡°writing¡± (transcription) of discourse artifacts within
or across media. We introduce an underlying formal technique to support flexible and adaptable
transcription on hypermedia artifacts in the community. Our approach includes a linkage of
knowledge to action which aims at seamless de-contextualization from action and recontextualization
into action.
