Contextually-enriched Documents: Publishing for Organizational Learning
Techreport ID: kmi-00-01
Date: 2000
Author(s): Marek Hatala
We are looking at how new tools and forms of document interface can be used to support document centered discourse, to enrich documents with contextual information, and ultimately, to support models of organizational learning. Building on the Digital Document Discourse Environment (D3E) we have developed tools to support the publishing of digital documents tightly coupled with discussion spaces supporting the sharing of knowledge both throughout organizations and geographically dispersed communities. Based on the requirements arising from the three industrial trials we have constructed tools for publishing enriched documents within an organization to the support the capturing of organizational knowledge and practices.

Social Software is...
Interacting with other people not only forms the core of human social and psychological experience, but also lies at the centre of what makes the internet such a rich, powerful and exciting collection of knowledge media. We are especially interested in what happens when such interactions take place on a very large scale -- not only because we work regularly with tens of thousands of distance learners at the Open University, but also because it is evident that being part of a crowd in real life possesses a certain 'buzz' of its own, and poses a natural challenge. Different nuances emerge in different user contexts, so we choose to investigate the contexts of work, learning and play to better understand the trade-offs involved in designing effective large-scale social software for multiple purposes.
