  16. What do these have in common?
    • Technology
    • Each uses different technology
    • Folksonomies (tagging) seems to be a key component
    • Support team work
    • Support team interaction on tasks
    • Share information
    • Help classify information
    • Support team interaction
    • Support team interaction, communication and social cohesion
    • Psych literature tells us that both task and social support are critical to a team’s long term survival
  17. Key messages
    • When thinking about building systems:
    • Understand and support team interaction on tasks
    • Understand and support team interaction, communication and social cohesion
    • It’s not about a technology-driven solution
  18. A case study
    • The issues:
    • Two different cultures
    • Two different perspectives
    • Interaction problems
    • Need to:
    • Share information
  19. Goldilocks and Porridge
  20. Three Bears and Porridge
  21. Information disconnect
  22. Govt. department and information disconnect
  23. The problem
    • “ How can you determine what’s in these reports so that one world view can inform the other?”
    • “ How do you create business processes and tools that connects these two world views of information?”
    - Mark Allenby, SMS Consultant
  24.  
  25. A typical approach Might meet the businesses needs Would it meet users’ needs?
  26. Using a taxonomy?
    • Issues
    • Need to have a finite set of ‘things’ to build a good taxonomy
    • Content of reports are not finite and change over time
    • Doesn’t fit people’s personal view of information
    • No one will use it (except for the experts)
    • Extensibility
    • Taxonomy needs to be redesigned to adapt to new information
    • Issues
    • Good as a ‘filing cabinet’ for documents
    • Good for records managers
    • Not designed to match the way users’ think about their own information (corporate way only)
    • Not designed for other things like ‘sharing information’
    • Tower Software uses a wiki to share knowledge and information
    Using TRIM (recordkeeping system)?
  27. A tagging approach
    • “… instead [of using a system], you may want to capture and communicate… the essence of what is talked about by using free text tagging (like they do with blogs and wikis)…”
    - Matt’s response
  28. Selling tagging Currently tracking over 8 million tags 5 years and millions of tags and users 8 years worth of tagged, public, online diary and information websites All user/self-classified information
  29. Tagging = users’ view of information
    • Benefits for users:
    • Chosen by the user
    • Not part of a formal taxonomy (my way, not the corporate way of thinking)
    • Adapts easily to new information
    • Flexible and easy to use
    • Benefits for the business:
    • People want to use it - high level of participation
    • Information still gets classified
    • Tag clouds show frequency of terms for reporting
  30. Applying Garrett’s User-Centred Design Methodology See also: http://www.jjg.net/ia/
  31. Scope phase
    • Big gaps in information and little communications between stakeholders and the Department due to different world-views
    • Some documented process , but without documented workflow or governance
    • No tools or supporting systems
  32. Solution
    • Facilitate information storage & communication
    • Create a place to share information and knowledge
    • Invite and encourage stakeholders to participate
    • Establish governance
    • Document roles and responsibilities
    • Document process
    • Provide tools and systems
    • Support business process
    • Support the way people think about their own information
    • If tools are usable they will be used
    • Focus on connecting people, information and knowledge
  33. Tagging and Topic Maps Topic maps = connected information
  34. Wikis to store knowledge
  35.  
  36. Department’s term in their Corporate taxonomy Related tags users have Created and related to the term ‘policy’
  37. Social computing tools in this case study
    • Tagging
    • Good for user classification of information
    • Good for representing information based on the user’s own world-view
    • Wikis
    • Good for communication
    • Good for sharing information and knowledge to reinforcing social cohesion between groups
    • Easy to create and maintain content
    • Easy and cheap to setup
    • Topic Maps
    • The glue that connects disconnected information
  38. Key messages
    • The more our computers are connected, the more we realise how disconnected our information is
    • Social computing tools can connect people, information and knowledge
    • Use social computing tools in “smart ways” to serve growing user demand to interact directly with government
    • Remember to concentrate on the “social”-part, not the “computing” part
  39. … happily ever after
