Abstract

Expertise recommender systems are a valuable tool for keeping track of who has expertise and in what areas within an organization. The key problem is acquiring validated knowledge of expertise and keeping that information up to date. In research organizations, publications are one source of evidence of expertise which can be used to identify who knows about what. In this paper we focus on evaluating the feasibility of a simple technique for uncovering expertise used as the foundation and starting point of maintaining a profile of validated expertise within an organization.
