Zusammenfassung
Professional translators are creative knowledge workers. They have to continuously increase the efficiency of their work process in order to stay capable of competing on the market. This also includes the management of their personal knowledge and information resources as finding relevant information and the correct terminology consumes a considerable amount of the time needed for producing high-quality translations. Here, interaction and collaboration with other individuals can be a great source of knowledge and professional support. This
paper describes the work in progress of a study on how professional translators can
collaboratively manage their personal knowledge and information resources by
taking advantage of synergies in their professional networks through social interaction in web-based environments. For this purpose, interaction patterns among translators and their peers will be identified using Social Network Analysis methods. Based on the findings of the analysis, requirements for a web-based environment leveraging synergies within translators‘ social and professional networks will be derived.
