The document discusses developing professional standards using a wiki-based solution. It outlines building standards by defining working functions that describe job tasks, skills, knowledge and qualities needed. People contribute by creating functions, voting, and evaluating them. The system structures functions into categories and qualification levels. It implements the standard structure and development process in Semantic MediaWiki, allowing voting, evaluation and exporting the final standard to Word. An initial pilot to develop a manager standard was partly accepted by the government.

Developing standards of professional activity with Semantic MediaWiki

2. Outline
• What is the professional standard?
• Create professional standards today: who and
how
• Our solution
– Implementing the structure of standard in SMW
– Tools for proposing and evaluating versions of
standard parts
– Generating the final document
• Pilot

3. What’s the professional standard?
• The standard describes the professional:
– What he should do at job
– What he should know about the world
– What skills should he have
– What personal qualities are required for his job
• Standards are used for:
– Designing the programs in universities
– Designing the requirements for job candidates in
companites

25. How we structure all that
• Standard consists of many working functions
• Working function consists of:
–
–
–
–
Responsibility of the worker: type of task to perform
Skills that the worker need to perform the task
Knowledge needed for the task
Professional qualities needed for the task
• Working functions are grouped by:
– Categories
– Qualification levels

30. Working on the standard: actors
• Fathers of the standard
– Small group
– Describes the levels, categories
– Make decisions about which working functions
will be included to the standard
• Industry representatives
• Moderators/Facilitators

31. Working on the standard: process
Creating
working
functions
Describing
levels
Describing
categories
31
Syncronizing
the levels
Voting for
working
functions
Proposing
the new
version of
the standard
39. Voting
• People can vote for or against the working
functions
• For now – only the simplest algorithm for
average vote
• Super users can freeze the voting or fix any
result
• All the results are semantified

41. Voting
• People can vote for or against the working
functions
• For now – only the simplest algorithm for
average vote
• Super users can freeze the voting or fix any
result
• All the results are semantified

43. Why not prefer The Wiki Way?
• People are hesitant to make changes in each
other’s content
• Edit wars are hard to understand
• Most of the edits change the meaning of the
content
• People are busy and prefer voting to writing
43
44. Evaluting the articles
• Participant can evaluate the working
functions by several criteria
• First we’ve used ArticleFeedback extension
• Now we’re using our own extension:
– Any number of evaluation criteria
– Different criteria for different categories
– Various widgets for submitting the evaluation

45. Evaluting the articles
• Participant can evaluate the working functions
by several criteria
• First we’ve used ArticleFeedback extension
• Now we’re using our own extension:
– Any number of evaluation criteria
– Different criteria for different categories
– Various widgets for submitting the evaluation

47. Evaluting the articles
• Participant can evaluate the working functions
by several criteria
• First we’ve used ArticleFeedback extension
• Now we’re using our own extension:
– Any number of evaluation criteria
– Different criteria for different categories
– Various widgets for submitting the evaluation

49. Export to MS Word
• Component for export the standard to Word
– To show the results to the government
• Extensively uses SMW queries in the code
• Generating MS Word is still a horrible task
– Hack: create your document template in MS
Word, convert it to html, fill it and rename it to
doc

51. Export to MS Word
• Component for export the standard to Word
– To show the results to the government
• Extensively uses SMW queries in the code
• Generating MS Word is still a horrible task
– Hack: create your document template in MS
Word, convert it to html, fill it and rename it to
doc

52. Results and perspectives
• Pilot: standard for the manager is partly
accepted by the government
• SMW was good for quickly prototyping the
system
• We’ll continue to use SMW as the platform for
designing the standards:
– Creating reusable libraby of skills and
responcibilities
– Define relationships between standards

53. Some other stuff we have
• More projects on strategic foresight and future
studies
• Storytelling in wiki!
• Some new result formats:
– Chap-timeline
– Xtags
• More of Semantic Glossary
• New input tools:
– Hierarchies
– Preview input
