Abstract (EN): This paper describes the "CIFrag" Project, which consists in the collective construction of Information Science and its associated concepts, through the combination of Semantic Web and web 2.0 techniques. This construction is achieved by a virtual community (VC) involving lectrurers and students from the Faculty of Librarianship and Communication (FABICO), Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil, and the Faculty of Arts, University of Porto (UP), Portugal, and quadripolar method is used and applied, with its epistemological assumptions ans methodological procedures. The contents related with Information and Communication Sciences are collectively built from the extraction and organization of fragments of web texts. These fragments are organized through metadata produced by the community members and according to an ontology, characterizing a collective environment directed at the Semantic web.
