Zusammenfassung
This paper discusses the requirements of a framework for sharing digital
resources and metadata to meet the needs of open, flexible Knowledge Management
solutions. The changing nature of the Web and its users as observed in recent years
clearly establishes the need for new approaches and technologies to fully exploit the potential
for working with existing digital resources. Formal metadata about the resources
can be combined with information created in lightweight and user-centric approaches
in order to significantly enhance resource descriptions and enable more efficient access
to existing knowledge. The ALOE system, currently in development at DFKI, is one
such solution and it is used here as the basis for a sample realization of an appropriate
framework.
