Our research enhances information systems used in virtual team management with intelligent and adaptive automated searches to support information creation. Based on a domain knowledge base and mapping rules, our information management system creates user and project ontologies. It analyses each user's behavior and contribution, continuously updating the ontologies, based on which it performs automated searches and connects the virtual team members in a virtual network of competences. The algorithm creates and updates the ontologies then performs the automated searches taking into consideration semantic connections between users and projects.
