There is middle ground between formal knowledge representation and 'what humans do'.
"Wikis are really about sharing information with other people and collaboratively working on a document set."
He threw up a slide of a a cat holding it's ears and did a LOL Cat joke...and then launched into a discussion of Epistimology.
Robert Brandum-big fan of this guy...inferentialism...wow,I am so confused.
Dealing with the problem of organization of information...libraries are really good at classification.
Faceted classification is dynamically creating a system based on its different properties.
"if anyone is familiar with Z39.19" - seriously who is familiar with this?
He is doing a project that is merging two separate sets of data about the genealogy of native New Zealanders. Lots of flowcharts about the system that leads to the wiki engine.
He is giving a presentation of the live page at the Library.
Of course the live presentation died...so he jumps around and says "imagine a map that is spinning and jumping around"...good way to handle a presentation difficulty.
Talk about something that needs context:
"If you were trying to assert your fanau with your hapu, you might be interested in assertions."
What I got out of this is that wikis are useful and cool...and can do cool stuff.
Questions:
Liam Quinn-
Is the translation feature bi-directional? Yes.
Wendell Piez -
"I am so envious,I wish I could do your work."
Problem of complexity...a good game has balance between rules and simplicity. Problem of sufficeint and useful complexity...how do you balance?
Response: It would be best showed by having it up and running for a year and see how people use it. Also there is a set of 'roles' that can be added to make the information more complex but that isn't necessary.
Steven Newcomb -
"I am in awe of what you are doing" (That's pretty cool praise) Has something that uses a wiki to create topic maps.
Technical question - Why use JSP wiki?
Response: Because I started with it because the program I began with is a java based program. He used what he knew and it grew mostly organically from there.
