Abstract

This paper describes an experiment on the capture of business processes’ tacit knowledge owned by knowledge workers. During the experiment, knowledge workers used a functional prototype to achieve a set of goals described to them in natural language. To achieve these goals, they needed to create a set of informational objects. By inspecting these objects, it is possible to decide on the success of a business process instance. The experiment hypothesis states that by enhancing the tool with a recommender system, the nomenclature used by the knowledge workers converges. The experiment took 13 subjects and a confederate. Results show that the proposed approach, empowered with a contextual recommender system, allows work practices to converge, and thus, tacit knowledge to be captured using a practice-oriented strategy.
