In the age of knowledge-based economy, the always-growing necessity of an effective means to share concepts and their representation frequently leads to the development of domain specific vocabularies. However, vocabu-laries may fail to capture the real common understanding of a community, mostly because of its low involve-ment in the development phase. The paper gives a first set of considerations about a collaborative approach to vocabulary development and outlines the main issues that such approach would imply.

Abstract
In the age of knowledge-based economy, the always-growing necessity of an effective means to share concepts and their representation frequently leads to the development of domain specific vocabularies. However, vocabu-laries may fail to capture the real common understanding of a community, mostly because of its low involve-ment in the development phase. The paper gives a first set of considerations about a collaborative approach to vocabulary development and outlines the main issues that such approach would imply. Finally some collabora-tion use cases are proposed for solving some integrity issues that collaboration implicitly entails.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
