Knowcations--Positioning of a Meme and Cloud-Based Personal Second Generation Knowledge Management System

摘要

The first generation of organizational knowledge management (OKM) focused on the capturing, storing, and reusing of existing knowledge. To be classed as second generation, systems need to facilitate the creation of new knowledge and innovation which requires creativity and the awareness that old knowledge becomes obsolete. Recent suggestions also urged to advance personal knowledge management (PKM) as an overdue support tool for knowledge workers in the rising creative class and knowledge societies. Based on the assumption of creative conversations between many individuals' PKM devices, the autonomous systems are supposed to enable the emergence of the distributed processes of collective extelligence and intelligence, which in turn feed them. With a PKM prototype system pursuing these qualities, the paper illustrates the interaction between a user and external information-bearing hosts and vehicles. The resulting feedback loop incorporates Boisot's I-Space Model, Dawkins' Memes, Probst's KM Building Blocks and Pirolli's Sensemaking Model for Intelligence Analysis and supports the Nanatsudaki (Seven Waterfall) Model.
