The Needle in the eHaystack: A Broad Perspective of the navigation in the digital spaces of contents Gadi Ariav Info 2006
outline • information and information behavior • information behavior orientation DSS • the DSS imperative: • the design cycle • dialog, data, model • NeGeV personal TV environment as a DSS • an open list of research questions
information some common myths… and their implications: • only “objective” is valuable Web 2.0 • more is better need driven • can be provided out of context task dependent • there is relevant info for every need complexity • ‘privatizing’ external info is easy “what do people do to information?” (Case, 2002)
basic concepts • data accumulation concepts: • key:eventcapturedata • organized around process and feedback • data usage / decision support concepts: • key: action decision information • organized around decision situation
DSS design – overview • role • Process • Range • Depth • environment • Task Type • Access Pattern • structure • components • architecture • evaluation criteria • answers • reducing uncertainty • making sense
ds implementation loop • …user with a decision task • DSS design: • analysis, evaluation, construction • a decision support system: • dialog, data and model management • user with a decision task* …
DSS structure – overview • model management • dialog management • User & tasks • data management • external data & neighboring IS
dialog management • user interface… to infinitely varied users • dialog structure… to infinitely varied situations • unified interface… to infinitely varied resources
data management • repositories of source-data… of infinitely varied types • meta data about the repositories • interrelated private and public data • unified staging… of infinitely varied external repositories
model management • repositories of models… • of global search • of situational search of infinitely varied types • meta data about the repositories • integrated application of diverse models
TV –the killer info appliance Source: Forrester
“The Global Broadcast television industry is undergoing fundamental change that is rendering the network model obsolete” • “Today’s consumers are seeking content across an expanding array of transmission media, channels, interactive platforms and devices” • “Demand for content is exploding in all forms of media and this creates significant opportunities” • “Networks will offer content across variety of media channels and formats”

NeGeV challenges • mass-customization • large-scale mass-customization • completely inadequate infrastructure: • narrow-cast on broadcast network • sophistication on cheap and weak STBs • cautious traditional incumbents
NeGeV services • gaps: • dictated broadcast schedule • limited content selection by viewer • homogeneous viewers assumption • limited profile of viewers preferences • technological challenges: • content selection from vast depositories • identification and management of preferences • massive mass-customization of the above • cross-platform personalized viewing tracks • sharing of V-Environment characteristics
info seeking challenges • wrong focus of tools • behavioral assumptions • types of data: • (directly) codifiable vs. non-codifiable • qualitative specs • types of questions: • factual, inferential, causal, predictive
info seeking measurement • tangible outcomes (?) • impact on information process: • personal efficiency, problem solving style • impact on information user: • perceived “usefulness” & “result comfort” • extent of structure • extent of insight & understanding
recap • information and information behavior • information behavior orientation DSS • the DSS imperative: • the design cycle • dialog, data, model • NeGeV personal TV environment as a DSS • an open list of research questions
