JISC e-Framework Innovation Knowlegebase An Overview David Millard (University of Southampton) Tom Franklin (Franklin Consulting)
Who is IK for JISC programme managers • for synthesis • to work with their clients • to locate relevant work • to locate services etc Business Analysts Project staff Software architects
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 IK – understanding reality Wiki – reflecting reality Reality (of the Domain)
What is it Bridge
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 IK – understanding reality Wiki – reflecting reality Reality (of the Domain)
Example Rich Hypertext Network QTI (standard) R2Q2 (software) Southampton University (organisation) uses uses How many software applications use QTI? What is the impact of QTI? (How many organisations use software that usesQTI?)

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
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?
Special relationship with the wiki where there is a 1:1 match between pages in the wiki and entities in the ontology Ontology Wiki e-Framework Repository Repository Repository The ontology and the wiki
