<Quote> (1)

“The basic [idea] of the Web is that
 [it is] an information space through
      which people can [not only]
     communicate [in general], but
    communicate in a special way:
     communicate by sharing their
          knowledge in a pool.
<Quote> (2)

The idea was not just that it should be
       a big browsing medium.
The idea was that everybody would be
   putting their ideas in, as well as
           taking them out.”
                        Tim Berners-Lee

 Disruptive Technologies
 Dynamic Possibilities
Wiki (1)

“A wiki is a freely-expandable collection of
     interlinked Web 'pages‘, a hypertext
       system for storing and modifying
    information - a database, where each
   page is easily editable by any user … .”
             (Leuf and Cunningham 2001, 14)
Wiki (2)

“Wiki is a … collaborative space … because
  of its total freedom, ease of access, and
        use, [and] simple and uniform
        navigational conventions … .”
“[It] ... is also a way to organize and cross-
               link knowledge … .”
                        Ward Cunningham
                        Father of the Wiki
         (Leuf and Cunningham 2001, 16)
Wiki (3)

   The original Wiki - the Portland Pattern
      Repository - was created by Ward
             Cunningham in 1995 (
           c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiHistory).
'Wiki wiki' (pronounced ‘wicky’, ‘weekee’ or
                  ‘veekee’)
       (encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Wiki#
                 Pronunciation)
is a Hawaiian term for 'quick' or 'super-fast' (
            en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki).
Wiki (4)

“Cunningham coined the term ‘Wiki’
 after the ‘wiki wiki’ or ‘quick’ shuttle
      buses at Honolulu Airport” (
   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki#History).
  The wiki concept reflects his view
 that a Web-based database should
 be simple to create and easy to use
  (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham).

Features and
          Functionalities (1)
Most wikis provide the user with a set of
navigation or utility tools such as:
   Ability to edit a page
   View recently changes pages
   ‘History’ feature to view or roll back to
       a previous version of a page
                     (Peterson 2004, 14)
Features and
          Functionalities (2)
   ‘Discuss’ offline changes or proposed
    changes to a page
    A ‘backlinks’ function (view all the
    pages that link to the page currently
    displayed)
   Search function
                    (Peterson 2004, 14)
Features and
          Functionalities (3)
   Most public wikis do not generally
      require that readers register
   Additions or modifications made by
      readers typically are not reviewed
      prior to publication within a wiki
               (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki)

             (Leuf and Cunningham 2001, 277)
Wiki Advantages (1)

   Asynchronous benefit of incorporating the
    assistance of experts, peers and other
    professionals
   Excellent means to annotate evolving issues
    where spare notes, thoughts, and a meandering
    collection of file formats exist
   Facilitate the exchange of ideas for small group
    projects
   Provides for a more creative environment and
    expanding knowledgebase in project
    management
Wiki Advantages (2)

   Level the playing field and allow all opinions to
    be heard
   Increase communication efficiency and
    productivity over ‘back-and-forth’ exchanges of
    e-mail attachments and discussion boards
   Provide a way to get everyone on the same page
    through the writable Web
   Harness the power of diverse individuals to
    create collaborative works
Wiki Advantages (3)
              Wikis have the potential to
   provide individuals with a forum for improving
    knowledge and advancing thought processes
   form collaborative social research communities
    with respect to project management, and
   provide innovative reference repositories for all
    aspects of planning, operation, and
    implementation
                 (Bean and Hott 2005, 8)
Wiki Advantages (4)

         Wikis
          Have
the Potential and Power
       to Change
  How We Think About
 How We Live and Work.
           (Bean and Hott 2005, 6-7)
Wiki Disadvantages (1)

   Installation can be demanding, particularly for
    some Wiki engine software (e.g., TWiki)
   Editing wiki documents can be cumbersome for
    some individuals
   Overcoming cultural hurdles of hierarchy,
    control, and a sense of lack of accountability
   Issues of legal liability, privacy, reputation, and
    security must be considered
Wiki Disadvantages (2)

   Content accuracy, balance, comprehensiveness,
    and consistency, and reliability can be
    questioned
   Wikis are cumulative rather than serial
   Articles, by design, are always in flux, editable,
    and have a mixed degree of quality and finality
                       (Bean and Hott 2005, 7)
Wiki Engines

       “Wiki software is a type of
  collaborative software that runs a Wiki
  system. It is usually implemented as a
   server-side script that runs on one or
    more Web servers, with the content
             generally stored in a
relational database management system,
 although some implementations use the
       server's file system instead.”

           http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TopTenWikiEngines
How to Choose a Wiki Engine (1)

   Who is developing it? A single person or a growing
    team?
   Under what license is it distributed?
   Who is using the wiki? A good wiki engine is likely
    to have a large group of existing users, and this is
    helpful if you need support running it.
   Platform: should it run on a server or a local
    machine? Is online access needed? What OS does
    the machine run and is the wiki software ported to
    it?
How to Choose a Wiki Engine (2)

   Features for editors: easy to write (and powerful)
    formatting rules, WYSIWYG capabilities, sectional
    editing, easy to roll back to earlier versions, file
    upload, insert image, able to write complex
    formulae etc.
   Features for readers: table of contents, search,
    navigation bar, access statistics, article rating, high
    quality printable version
   User management: user personal page, personalized
    toolbar and preferences
   Groupware features: forum, gallery, message system
   Access controls: This is important for company intranet
    with security consideration
How to Choose a Wiki Engine (3)

   Be able to import external files (e.g., HTML, Word
    document), export to external files (e.g., Word
    document, PDF)
   Multilingual support
   Extensibility: What third-party plugins exist, and what
    mechanisms are there for creating them
   Portability: Are you locked into a particular package or
    wikitext format? Is it possible to export your text to
    other systems?
   Scalability: Is it suitable for large amount of pages or
    is it just light-weight wiki software? Most scalable
    wiki software need a back end database to store pages

Disruptive Technologies (1)




    http://www.claytonchristensen.com
Disruptive Technologies (2)

   “A Disruptive Technology is a new technological
    innovation, product, or service that eventually
    overturns the existing dominant technology in
    the market,
   despite the fact that the disruptive technology
    is both radically different than the leading
    technology and that it often initially performs
    worse than the leading technology according to
    existing measures of performance.
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_technology
Disruptive Technologies (3)

   The term ‘Disruptive Technology’ was coined
    by Clayton M. Christensen and described in
    his 1997 book The Innovator's Dilemma.
   In his sequel, The Innovator's Solution,
    Christensen replaced the term with the term
    ‘Disruptive Innovation’ because he
    recognized that few technologies are
    intrinsically disruptive or sustaining in
    character. It is strategy that creates the
    disruptive impact.”

   Disruptive Scholarship
Conversational Technologies (1)

   Discussion forums, wikis, and weblogs
   Knowledge creation and sharing is carried out
    through a process of discussion with questions and
    answers (discussion forum), collaborative editing
    (wikis), or through the process of storytelling
    (weblogs)
   Conversational systems capture and represent
    conversations and accommodates contextualization,
    search, and community
   Offer ease and efficiency of representation and
    sharing
        http://wagnernet.com/tiki/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=7
Conversational Technologies (2)

    “The wiki … has as its basic information unit the
     Comment-on-Topic.
    Neither time nor user are relevant (for information
     presentation), and the information unit in its most
     updated form represents the best and most timely
     version of thoughts on that topic.
    Wikis thus permit incremental improvement of an
     information unit.”
    Christian Wagner and Narasimha Bolloju, “Supporting Knowledge Management in Organization
        with Conversation Technologies: Discussion Forums, Weblogs, and Wikis,” Journal of
                       Database Management 16, no. 2 (April-June 2005): i-viii.

for a range of scholarly work, including manuscripts, articles,
journals, and monographs.
Disruptive Scholarship (2)
    In one possible wiki-based publication
scenario, an author would prepare a manuscript
draft using locally-installed wiki engine
software (or institutional wiki) that best suits
his/her needs or preferences.
    In a first stage review, colleagues would be
invited to participate in a review of the draft.
At this stage, the author can choose to allow
first-stage reviewers to edit the text, or limit
participation to a discussion space.
Disruptive Scholarship (3)
    At a second stage, known specialists in the
field(s) covered by the manuscript could be
invited to review the revised first stage version.
As in the first stage review, second stage
reviewers would be granted open permission to
edit the manuscript text, or be restricted to
commenting on its content.
    At a third – and perhaps final stage - the
author could request that others (such members
of a professional electronic discussion list)
review and edit and/or comment on the new,
revised version.
Disruptive Scholarship (4)
   After final review, the revised final stage
version could be locked from future discussion
or editing. The locking of the final version could
constitute formal publication of the work.
   Alternatively, the author/editor in chief at
some later time could unlock the published
version and invite any reader to discuss and/or
edit it, thereby creating a ‘living’, dynamic,
potentially ever-changing-and improving
document, by doing so.

David Mattison
“I think a wiki is highly appropriate
 for scholarly communication if all
the scholars trust one another and
 are collaborating on a text …, and
 security and rollback mechanisms
            are in place.”
                              >>>
http://lists.webjunction.org/wjlists/web4lib/2004-August/000993.html
“Wikis are just another tool [of the]
      Collaborative Web … .
  The question of whether what
emerges from that collaboration is
authoritative or scholarly depends
 on other factors often above and
 beyond the collaborative process
              itself.”

  • 6. <Quote> (1) “The basic [idea] of the Web is that [it is] an information space through which people can [not only] communicate [in general], but communicate in a special way: communicate by sharing their knowledge in a pool.
  • 7. <Quote> (2) The idea was not just that it should be a big browsing medium. The idea was that everybody would be putting their ideas in, as well as taking them out.” Tim Berners-Lee Father of the Web http://www.w3.org/1999/04/13-tbl.html

  • 11. PART ONE  Wikis  Disruptive Technologies  Dynamic Possibilities
  • 12. Wiki (1) “A wiki is a freely-expandable collection of interlinked Web 'pages‘, a hypertext system for storing and modifying information - a database, where each page is easily editable by any user … .” (Leuf and Cunningham 2001, 14)
  • 13. Wiki (2) “Wiki is a … collaborative space … because of its total freedom, ease of access, and use, [and] simple and uniform navigational conventions … .” “[It] ... is also a way to organize and cross- link knowledge … .” Ward Cunningham Father of the Wiki (Leuf and Cunningham 2001, 16)
  • 14. Wiki (3) The original Wiki - the Portland Pattern Repository - was created by Ward Cunningham in 1995 ( c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiHistory). 'Wiki wiki' (pronounced ‘wicky’, ‘weekee’ or ‘veekee’) (encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Wiki# Pronunciation) is a Hawaiian term for 'quick' or 'super-fast' ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki).
  • 15. Wiki (4) “Cunningham coined the term ‘Wiki’ after the ‘wiki wiki’ or ‘quick’ shuttle buses at Honolulu Airport” ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki#History). The wiki concept reflects his view that a Web-based database should be simple to create and easy to use (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham).
  • 20. Features and Functionalities (1) Most wikis provide the user with a set of navigation or utility tools such as:  Ability to edit a page  View recently changes pages  ‘History’ feature to view or roll back to a previous version of a page (Peterson 2004, 14)
  • 21. Features and Functionalities (2)  ‘Discuss’ offline changes or proposed changes to a page  A ‘backlinks’ function (view all the pages that link to the page currently displayed)  Search function (Peterson 2004, 14)
  • 22. Features and Functionalities (3)  Most public wikis do not generally require that readers register  Additions or modifications made by readers typically are not reviewed prior to publication within a wiki (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki)
  • 23. Levels of Access (1) TYPE DESCRIPTION RESTRICTIONS Fully open Original, 57-flavor, open No restrictions community model Lockable All pages public, but editing Edit restricted in various ways authentication (lockable pages) Gate Some pages public (may be Edit lockable); other pages restricted Authentication to registered users login sections (Leuf and Cunningham 2001, 277)
  • 24. Levels of Access (2) TYPE DESCRIPTION RESTRICTIONS Members- All users must be registered; may Login to wiki only involve further group restrictions Firewalled All users must be on specific Login to network system Personal Notebook usage on own system or Not applicable private Web site directory (Web site login). (Leuf and Cunningham 2001, 277)
  • 25. Wiki Advantages (1)  Asynchronous benefit of incorporating the assistance of experts, peers and other professionals  Excellent means to annotate evolving issues where spare notes, thoughts, and a meandering collection of file formats exist  Facilitate the exchange of ideas for small group projects  Provides for a more creative environment and expanding knowledgebase in project management
  • 26. Wiki Advantages (2)  Level the playing field and allow all opinions to be heard  Increase communication efficiency and productivity over ‘back-and-forth’ exchanges of e-mail attachments and discussion boards  Provide a way to get everyone on the same page through the writable Web  Harness the power of diverse individuals to create collaborative works
  • 27. Wiki Advantages (3) Wikis have the potential to  provide individuals with a forum for improving knowledge and advancing thought processes  form collaborative social research communities with respect to project management, and  provide innovative reference repositories for all aspects of planning, operation, and implementation (Bean and Hott 2005, 8)
  • 28. Wiki Advantages (4) Wikis Have the Potential and Power to Change How We Think About How We Live and Work. (Bean and Hott 2005, 6-7)
  • 29. Wiki Disadvantages (1)  Installation can be demanding, particularly for some Wiki engine software (e.g., TWiki)  Editing wiki documents can be cumbersome for some individuals  Overcoming cultural hurdles of hierarchy, control, and a sense of lack of accountability  Issues of legal liability, privacy, reputation, and security must be considered
  • 30. Wiki Disadvantages (2)  Content accuracy, balance, comprehensiveness, and consistency, and reliability can be questioned  Wikis are cumulative rather than serial  Articles, by design, are always in flux, editable, and have a mixed degree of quality and finality (Bean and Hott 2005, 7)
  • 31. Wiki Engines “Wiki software is a type of collaborative software that runs a Wiki system. It is usually implemented as a server-side script that runs on one or more Web servers, with the content generally stored in a relational database management system, although some implementations use the server's file system instead.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_engine
  • 32. Top Wiki Engines (1)  MediaWiki  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki  Feature-rich wiki implementation  Written in PHP and uses an underlying MySQL relational database management system  GNU General Public License  Used in Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/]  MoinMoin  http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/  Implemented in Python  Flat file  GNU General Public License
  • 33. Top Wiki Engines (2)  PmWiki  http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/  Developed by Patrick Michaud  Uses PHP scripting language  Flat file  GNU General Public License  TikiWiki  http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php  Open source content management system (CMS) and Groupware that can be used to create Web applications, sites, portals, intranets and extranets  Based on Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP
  • 34. Top Wiki Engines (3)  UseModWiki  http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl  Written by Clifford Adams in the Perl programming language  Flat file  GNU General Public License http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TopTenWikiEngines
  • 35. How to Choose a Wiki Engine (1)  Who is developing it? A single person or a growing team?  Under what license is it distributed?  Who is using the wiki? A good wiki engine is likely to have a large group of existing users, and this is helpful if you need support running it.  Platform: should it run on a server or a local machine? Is online access needed? What OS does the machine run and is the wiki software ported to it?
  • 36. How to Choose a Wiki Engine (2)  Features for editors: easy to write (and powerful) formatting rules, WYSIWYG capabilities, sectional editing, easy to roll back to earlier versions, file upload, insert image, able to write complex formulae etc.  Features for readers: table of contents, search, navigation bar, access statistics, article rating, high quality printable version  User management: user personal page, personalized toolbar and preferences  Groupware features: forum, gallery, message system  Access controls: This is important for company intranet with security consideration
  • 37. How to Choose a Wiki Engine (3)  Be able to import external files (e.g., HTML, Word document), export to external files (e.g., Word document, PDF)  Multilingual support  Extensibility: What third-party plugins exist, and what mechanisms are there for creating them  Portability: Are you locked into a particular package or wikitext format? Is it possible to export your text to other systems?  Scalability: Is it suitable for large amount of pages or is it just light-weight wiki software? Most scalable wiki software need a back end database to store pages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_software
  • 38. Directory of Wiki Engines Languages (1)  Active Server  ColdFusion Pages (ASP)  Easy  Ada  Emacs Lisp  Awk  Erlang  C  HTag  C ++  IBasic  C#  Io  Cheshire  Java

  • 51. Disruptive Technologies (2)  “A Disruptive Technology is a new technological innovation, product, or service that eventually overturns the existing dominant technology in the market,  despite the fact that the disruptive technology is both radically different than the leading technology and that it often initially performs worse than the leading technology according to existing measures of performance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_technology
  • 52. Disruptive Technologies (3)  The term ‘Disruptive Technology’ was coined by Clayton M. Christensen and described in his 1997 book The Innovator's Dilemma.  In his sequel, The Innovator's Solution, Christensen replaced the term with the term ‘Disruptive Innovation’ because he recognized that few technologies are intrinsically disruptive or sustaining in character. It is strategy that creates the disruptive impact.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_technology

Conversational Technologies (1)  Discussion forums, wikis, and weblogs  Knowledge creation and sharing is carried out through a process of discussion with questions and answers (discussion forum), collaborative editing (wikis), or through the process of storytelling (weblogs)  Conversational systems capture and represent conversations and accommodates contextualization, search, and community  Offer ease and efficiency of representation and sharing http://wagnernet.com/tiki/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=7
  • 98. Conversational Technologies (2)  “The wiki … has as its basic information unit the Comment-on-Topic.  Neither time nor user are relevant (for information presentation), and the information unit in its most updated form represents the best and most timely version of thoughts on that topic.  Wikis thus permit incremental improvement of an information unit.” Christian Wagner and Narasimha Bolloju, “Supporting Knowledge Management in Organization with Conversation Technologies: Discussion Forums, Weblogs, and Wikis,” Journal of Database Management 16, no. 2 (April-June 2005): i-viii. http://wagnernet.com/tiki/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=7
  • 100. Disruptive Scholarship (1) In view of its collaborative features and functionalities, and the nature and character of alternative methods of quality management outlined, the Wiki environment could provide an outstanding framework for * PREPARING * EDITING * REVIEWING * ASSESSING * PUBLISHING for a range of scholarly work, including manuscripts, articles, journals, and monographs.
  • 101. Disruptive Scholarship (2) In one possible wiki-based publication scenario, an author would prepare a manuscript draft using locally-installed wiki engine software (or institutional wiki) that best suits his/her needs or preferences. In a first stage review, colleagues would be invited to participate in a review of the draft. At this stage, the author can choose to allow first-stage reviewers to edit the text, or limit participation to a discussion space.
  • 102. Disruptive Scholarship (3) At a second stage, known specialists in the field(s) covered by the manuscript could be invited to review the revised first stage version. As in the first stage review, second stage reviewers would be granted open permission to edit the manuscript text, or be restricted to commenting on its content. At a third – and perhaps final stage - the author could request that others (such members of a professional electronic discussion list) review and edit and/or comment on the new, revised version.
  • 103. Disruptive Scholarship (4) After final review, the revised final stage version could be locked from future discussion or editing. The locking of the final version could constitute formal publication of the work. Alternatively, the author/editor in chief at some later time could unlock the published version and invite any reader to discuss and/or edit it, thereby creating a ‘living’, dynamic, potentially ever-changing-and improving document, by doing so.

  • 107. “Wikis are just another tool [of the] Collaborative Web … . The question of whether what emerges from that collaboration is authoritative or scholarly depends on other factors often above and beyond the collaborative process itself.” http://lists.webjunction.org/wjlists/web4lib/2004-August/000993.html
