In the tools area, I simply mean that the tools are advancing to provide
standardized and accessible (please read available to practically
everyone) methods to accomplish many goals of the OHS and DKR. From the
OHS definitions, many of the hyperdocument types and operations can be
easily accomodated in modern HTML. For the Repository, XML and search
technologies gives us methods of tagging and indexing document
information items allowing relatively simple methods of submitting,
evolving, and using the content.
In other words, I am thinking that some of the current available
technology has 'caught up' with the goals of the OHS and DKR - just look
at several list recommendations to use some of the current commercial
groupware offerings in the DKR. Regardless of who is it is, the user
must be able to easily visualize the overall organization and
capabilities of the DKR being used. It may be that the repository is
limited to circulation of only e-mail type content, or it may be capable
of incorporating the most highly produced interactive multimedia
hyperdocument types (I call it hypermultimedia), but it is the ease with
which the user can maintain a image of the organization of the content
that is important. I might visualize some sort of multidimensional view
of the DKR nodes for navigation to various information items, and it is
certainly now possible to provide this in a 3D interface, but this is a
detail of implementation. The highest goal is to give the users a
structural reference for the interaction.
So, I continue to propose staring at the top level and suggest
organizing the DRK content into three catagories of Experience (data),
Knowledge (facts), and Learning (information). The main idea is that,
given time and energy, experience input to the DKR is refined to
learning which results in Knowledge. Actually using the DKR content,
which can be defined as Wisdom, happens outside the DKR but results in
feedback to the DKR. (With thanks to Gene Bellinger and I really do need
a picture of this, right?) At least this gives a model for using the
DKR, leaving the details of how these interactions actually take place
and what techniques they use as topics for further discussions.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Joe D Williams
