1. JISC e-Framework InnovationBase An Overview David Millard (University of Southampton) Yvonne Howard (University of Southampton)

2. What is the InnovationBase? 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 KB – Queries and Search Reality (of the Domain) Wiki – reflecting reality KB – understanding reality

3. 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 IB 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 KB – understanding reality

4. 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 uses QTI?)

10. 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

11. 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 KB with the Wiki to get the best of both worlds?

12. Mockups Sequence of Screenshot Mockups to show editing of IB elements in the Wiki These mockups use the Wiki to: – View KB structures – Connect and disconnect Wiki Pages to KB structures – But can’t edit the structures themselves

27. Discussion Where does the editing of structures happen? – All structures have wiki pages Those wiki pages include discussion spaces – Is this the best place to edit the structure? How to you unlock the structures for editing – Login to KB? – Discussion in Wiki, editing in KB? What about the category hierarchies? – These must be editable in the Wiki – Are Software and Organisations special in some way (what about Standards)? What about inferred relationships? – For example Google Blogger is part of the Online Reflection Process Online Reflection Process is part of Student Project Lifecycle Therefore Google Blogger is also related to the Student Project Lifecycle – This is easy enough to represent (e.g. a different coloured line) – But what about editing?
