In current organizational information sharing systems, stored information is retrieved with no consideration of the business process. Consequently, one looking for stored information must guess retrieval keywords, even though appropriate retrieval-keywords have been assigned to the stored information. In turn, the guessed keywords may not retrieve useful stored information about a specific business process. To solve this problem, this paper takes an approach that links the information-sharing process with the business process so that business-relevant information is shared effectively. Our approach can lead to context-awareness in the search for information in an information sharing system. A user can find information from the specific stored information related to the business process in use. We developed a prototype system to test our approach in an office environment.
