Semantically-supported team building in a KDD virtual environment

Team building plays a crucial role in many collaborative projects. The use of semantic technologies and tools, like ontologies and metadata management proved to be a powerful approach to organize people competencies and support the formation of teams. Although Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) has inherent collaborative characteristics, team building in this domain has not been the subject of extensive work yet. In this paper we start filling this gap by presenting TeamOnto, an ontology for the representation of project teams. TeamOnto is part of a wide, modular and integrated Knowledge Base about KDD projects, of which we briefly illustrate some modules, showing their use to support team building in the KDD domain.
