摘要：The power and importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing within knowledge-intensive
innovation focused environments is a huge driving force in today’s knowledge driven economy.
Decisions taken are based on knowledge available, and knowledge is gained by asking questions.
Within a Living Lab environment, information and knowledge dissemination can take on many
forms and are cardinal to the Living Lab’s successful operation, where the creation of innovative
solutions is a key deliverable. This paper presents a framework that incorporates questions as additional
metadata tags to catalyze knowledge discovery. The question metadata are used as part of
a collection of knowledge support services developed utilizing a Living Lab approach. The objective
of the knowledge support services is to provide mechanisms to enable and fulfill various
knowledge oriented activities such as information acquisition, learning, and knowledge sharing.
Each of the knowledge oriented activities is enabled by the implementation and use of
Knowledge Objects. This paper reviews popular metadata formats, including the Dublin Core
standard, the Learning Object Metadata standard, and the Sharable Content Reference Model
(SCORM). Also presented is the concept of a Knowledge Object Wrapper, a collection of
metadata as part of a class hierarchy, which includes questions. The concept of a Knowledge Object
is also revisited.
