4. (Wild) Bundles DLI2 All Projects Meeting, Stratford Upon Avon 4

5. (Wild) Bundles • manage information for diverse, complex tasks • contain selected, collected, structured, annotated • are often used in settings with: • high uncertainty • low predictability • potentially grave outcomes • time & attention are highly constrained DLI2 All Projects Meeting, Stratford Upon Avon 5

6. (Wild) Bundles • There is benefit in creating (active processing of information) • There is benefit in reusing (trigger memory) • There is benefit in sharing (establish collective, situated awareness) DLI2 All Projects Meeting, Stratford Upon Avon 6

7. Given…. • bundles are everywhere! • access to bundles provides access to important information • information in bundles is often copied from other information sources • we can keep copied/referenced information linked through the use of marks DLI2 All Projects Meeting, Stratford Upon Avon 7

9. (Captive) Bundles • SLIMPad - a scratchpad application to create bundles but….with referenced information connected to the underlying source data • helping us explore architectural issues for building superimposed applications • motivating definition of a metamodel to represent information with mappings to transform • inspired by the observational work (but not focused on a specific medical task) DLI2 All Projects Meeting, Stratford Upon Avon 9
