Die Entwicklung von geschäftsrelevantem Wissen in Organisationen hat meist einen diskursiven Charakter. Es entsteht durch die Beiträge mehrerer Beteiligter und wird auch nur unter dieser Voraussetzung von allen Beteiligten akzeptiert.

Just reading Thomas Vander Wal’s “Broad and Narrow Folksonomies” it occured to me that a decent way to implement tagging behind firewalls is to provide simple flat tagging that gets its controlled vocabulary from public aggregator services like delicious, connotea or from some kind of established topicmaps. This way applying tags stays easy while retrieval is structured.Very early in the game.

Had a talk with a former sales representative of a DMS (t d f) (=document management systems) implementing firm. While getting to know each other – he might be our sales voice – we reached a point at which I burst out: “No it’s not about de-contextualizing and separating knowledge artifacts from the authors/creators”.

Impressive wording for what I conceive of – after long-time inhibitors will fall asleep – prerequisites of framing a world you’ like to work and live in – if you read those paragraphs inversley. Providing the right framework will lead to innovation through creativity and productivity: flow! Software – we create -can help – I’m deeply convinced and dedicated to work hard to proof it.
