based on the structure of processes and tasks defined in the workflow
the set of necessary artifacts of knowledge can be collected and structured into a knowledge map based on the relationships among knowledge users, tasks, and knowledge described in the workflow. We will also present a prototype of a Web-based knowledge map designed and implemented in accordance with the proposed framework. In doing that, the car seat design process of the automobile industry is employed to demonstrate the detailed procedure.user-task relationships are identified from task specifications in workflow and user profiles in the human resource database. This information is used to confine the subsequent knowledge search within the scope of user-relevant knowledge. Second, our system captures task-related knowledge. A task under consideration needs knowledge generated in other tasks that are associated with it, in a certain type. The type of task association is defined in a workflow definition. Based on this association as well as the above user-task relationships, our system retrieves and classifies task-related knowledge artifacts from the KR. Figure 3 shows the conceptual scheme of the two steps of knowledge collection.
