AbstractThe Web has profoundly reshaped our vision of information management and processing, enlightening the power of a collaborative model of information production and consumption. This new vision influences the Knowledge Discovery in Databases domain as well. In this paper we propose a service-oriented, semantic-supported approach to the development of a platform for sharing and reuse of resources (data processing and mining techniques), enabling the management of different implementations of the same technique and characterized by a community-centered attitude, with functionalities for both resource production and consumption, facilitating end-users with different skills as well as resource providers with different technical and domain specific capabilities. We first describe the semantic framework underlying the approach, then we demonstrate how this framework is exploited to give different functionalities to users through the presentation of the platform functionalities.
