APPLYING SOCIAL BOOKMARKING TECHNOLOGY FOR KNOWLEDGEMANAGEMENT IN THE BRAZILIAN SOCIAL WELFARE CONTEXT.

The Brazilian Social Welfare is an organization that involves a considerable amount of information in a large and complex infrastructure. This informational environment was built for a specific legislation based on a large number of norms and procedures. For this reason, one of the biggest challenges has been the development of a framework to manage and to search useful information. In this context, this paper presents a feasibility study for applying Social Bookmarking technology within a pilot project in the Brazilian Social Welfare. The paper begins with a discussion about some important concepts related to this work, such as Folksonomy, Social Bookmarking and Navigation. In the sequence, we present how these technologies can be used in the Brazilian Social Welfare to replace the previous project (Memoria de Grupo) based on XML and Databases technologies.
