چکیده

This paper proposes a context-based approach of social networks and virtual communities in the enterprise area. We point out that making context explicit it is possible to provide a global picture of the main aspects of social networks. A first result of this study is that the explicit consideration of contexts—especially shared contexts—could improve notably the collaborative-work processes in an enterprise. A second result shows the interest of considering simultaneously the paradigms of context and social network when IT is at the core of the enterprise. A third result is to point out that different types of context account for the flux of information between groups as well as inside each group. Finally, we point out that it is preferable to speak of contextualizations of a social network rather than virtual communities. RÉSUMÉ. Nous proposons dans ce papier une approche des réseaux sociaux et des communautés virtuelles basée sur le contexte que nous discutons dans le cadre d’une application grandeur réelle. Nous montrons comment l’explicitation du contexte permet d’obtenir une vue globale des principaux aspects des réseaux sociaux. Un premier résultat est de montrer comment l’explicitation du contexte, et particulièrement les contextes partagés, améliore notablement les processus de travail collaboratif au sein d’une entreprise. Un deuxième résultat montre l’intérêt de considérer simultanément les paradigmes de contexte et réseaux sociaux quand l’entreprise se dote de systèmes d’information. Un troisième résultat montre l’intérêt d’identifier les différents types de contexte dans les flux d’information interet intra-groupes dans une entreprise. Finalement, nous montrons pourquoi il est préférable de parler de contextualisations d’un réseaux social plutôt que de communautés virtuelles.
