In order to simplify, facilitate and provide a methodology for the analysis of corpuses (interviews, focus groups, press articles, etc.), Spiral's Mosaiqs project offers a CAQDAS service that is both simple and efficient. The exploration, firstly, enables the professional sciences to prepare for field work, including interviews, discussions son or any other text. It allows the development of the draft of the analysis grid, the professional socialization of its object of study and preparing for the examination phase. Finally, the analysis gives the professional the raw material that will be required for the preparation of its findings. Mosaiqs you work more effectively, more faithful to your body and in record time. [less ▲]

The purpose of this deliverable is to present the researches that have been led for modelling learning and activities in CoPs. On the basis of these models, we developed Learning and Organisational Resources (LORs) that are short activity scenarios aiming at developing learning, collaboration and uses of technological services in CoPs. The LORs are especially focused on the Generic Scenarios developed by WP5 and presented in D.IMP.08 i.e. ‘Reification’, ‘Debate & Decide’, and ‘Identity building’. The LORs have been trialled and evaluated by CoPs. In the conclusions, we synthesize the evaluation accounts from the CoPs and we provide advices for the use of the LORs by CoPs from various domains and contexts. [less ▲]

Mesydel is a computer tool aiming at faithfully implementing a large subset of the features of a Delphi survey: collection of data, multiple rounds of questionnaires, address book management, treatment and analysis of qualitative and quantitative questions, and dedicated analysis tools. The Delphi method, one of the most renowned "expert" methods, is a prospective (also called foresight) method, which allows to survey a panel of experts – a recent trend tends to extend the meaning of experts to "experts of use", i.e. any layman/laywoman which, by his/her very position, has acquired some kind of knowledge on a particular topic – in an iterative way: a typical Delphi survey consists of two rounds at least, with, between each round, a synthesis that is used as a base for the following questionnaire, allowing a "controlled feedback". One important feature of the method is that it is based on the intuitions and insights of a panel of experts. These experts do not have access to the answers of their peers, which avoids the self-moderation bias: in a situation where such confidentiality were not established, experts could chose to adopt more consensual answers and to express less clear, softer opinions. The Delphi method proved to be efficient in creating "futuribles", i.e. scenarios that are deemed possible, but not certain. [less ▲]

This deliverable first analyzes some integration problems encountered during the integration of the O’CoP ontology that was developed by several ontologists. Then, we describe several experiments of development of CoP-specific ontologies · Natural Language processing (NLP) tools were used by Knowledge Management (KM) service developers for analyzing a corpus of e-mails of the @pretic CoP, so as to develop a “Technical Problem” ontology. We also reused an existing hierarchy in order to build the Ontopedia ontology. Last, the development of the ontologies “Human Problems” and “Learning and Teaching” for the @pretic CoP relied on brainstormings between the CoP mediator and the CoP members. · For the Form@Hetice CoP, the ontology was aimed at being used by the BayFac system offering service of document classification, and was developed by the service developers, with a validation by the Form@Hetice CoP mediator. · For Learn-Nett CoP, the ontology was also aimed at being used by the BayFac system, and was developed by the service developers and the CoP mediator (who was also a member of the CoP), with a continuous validation by a CoP focus group. · For the TFT CoP, tbe ontology was developed manually by the CoP mediator through a folksonomy obtained using tags on the CoP documents, according to social tagging approach. At the end of the deliverable, we compare these different ontologies with related work and we analyze them from reusability viewpoint [less ▲]

Ce didacticiel comprend cinq éléments essentiels : 1.) Il s'articule tout d'abord autour du Syllabus, résumé de l'enseignement de Droit Romain dispensée en première candidature de Droit à l'Université de Liège par le Professeur Roger Vigneron de 1976 à 2002, puis par le Professeur Jean-François Gerkens. 2.) Les notions de base de la matière sont regroupées dans un Vocabulaire de Droit Romain, dont les termes latins sont tour à tour traduits et définis. 3.) Le cours est ensuite illustré par des Textes de Droit Romain, fragments de sources juridiques romaines, avec traduction française, analysées avec les étudiants lors des « analyses critiques de textes ». 4.) Une collection de 49 Vidéogrammes, extraits de mes « Six Vidéogrammes de Droit Romain », réalisés avec la collaboration du Laboratoire d'enseignement multimédia de l'Université de Liège et de la Direction Générale de la Sélection et de la Formation (D.G.S.F.) du Ministère de l'Intérieur et de la Fonction publique (Bruxelles). Vous avez également accès au texte intégral du synopsis de ces vidéogrammes. 5.) Un QCM de Droit Romain, questionnaires à choix multiples permettant à l'étudiant de tester ses connaissances et de les améliorer grâce aux explications qui lui sont données en cas de réponses erronées.
