The indiGo Project: Enhancement of Experience Management and Process Learning with Moderated Discourses

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Data Mining

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 2394))

Abstract

Within this paper we describe the indiGo approach to preparation, moderation, and analysis of discourses to enhance experience management. In the indiGo project this has been exemplified for the process learning domain. indiGo includes an integration of approaches for e-participation, experience management, process modeling and publishing, as well as text mining. We describe both the methodology underlying indiGo and the indiGo platform. In addition, we compare indiGo to related work. Currently a case study is ongoing for an in-depth evaluation of the indiGo approach.
