1. JISC e-Framework Innovation Knowlegebase An Overview David Millard (University of Southampton) Tom Franklin (Franklin Consulting)

2. Who is IK for for synthesis to work with their clients to locate relevant work to locate services etc JISC programme managers Business Analysts Project staff Software architects

3. What is the Innovation Knowledgebase? A place to capture activity and outputs – Using Wiki pages and ad-hoc links A place to make sense of the domain – Using managed structures and views A place to discover and learn about the domain – Browsing the Wiki – Views of the IK – Queries and Search Reality (of the Domain) Wiki – reflecting reality IK – understanding reality

4. What is it Bridge

5. The InnovationBase Wiki A first port-of-call for people in the domain to record what they do A Wiki is unrestrictive – pages can be on anything – but users are encouraged to fit into existing category structures… – … or extend them The IK will use a Semantic Wiki – In a standard Wiki the pages are typed (categories) – In a semantic Wiki the links are typed as well – Creates a rich hypertext network that can be queried like a database Reality (of the Domain) Wiki – reflecting reality IK – understanding reality

6. Example Rich Hypertext Network Southampton University (organisation) Southampton University (organisation) uses R2Q2 (software) R2Q2 (software) QTI (standard) QTI (standard) uses How many software applications use QTI? What is the impact of QTI? (How many organisations use software that usesQTI?)

12. Limitations of a Wiki Wiki’s are great for ad-hoc and evolving structure But difficult to manage meaningful structures: – Lists – Networks – Constrained Collections Because the users views the knowledge through a single node

13. Limitations of a Wiki A Knowledge-Base has different characteristics – Good for managed structure and controlled development – Higher barrier for use: needs more specialist users Can we couple a IK with the Wiki to get the best of both worlds?

15. Ontology Mk I

16. The ontology: Mk II

17. Pruned ontology

20. The ontology and the wiki OntologyWiki Repository e-Framework Special relationship with the wiki where there is a 1:1 match between pages in the wiki and entities in the ontology

21. Learner lifecycle

22. With the wiki
