Contextually-enriched Documents: Publishing for Organizational Learning

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.
