Personal Knowledge Management • Grown out of fields of Personal Information Management and Knowledge Management • Focus on individuals • Help them be more effective in their work
As We May Think (1945) by Vannevar Bush • Make humankind’s store of knowledge more accessible • Memex – mechanized private file and library • Books, pictures, periodicals, etc. • Notes and comments • Associative indexing • Link items and annotate
As We May Think (1945)by Vannevar Bush “[Man] has built a civilization so complex that he needs to mechanize his records more fully if he is to push his experiment to its logical conclusion and not merely become bogged down part way there by overtaxing his limited memory. His excursions may be more enjoyable if he can reacquire the privilege of forgetting the manifold things he does not need to have immediately at hand, with some assurance that he can find them again if they prove important.”
MyLifeBits: Fulfilling the Memex Vision • System for storing personal digital media: documents, images, sounds, and videos • Four principles of MyLifeBits • Unique features: • Interactive Story By Query • Time interval property
Stuff I’ve Seen: A System for Personal Information Retrieval and Re-Use • Stuff I’ve Seen (SIS) system designed to facilitate information re-use • Memex again • Similar to MyLifeBits, but focuses on a wider range of information sources and file types
A Personal Information & Knowledge Infrastructure Integrator (PIKII) • Vision for the future: PIKII • Managing and sharing information with technology evolved from today’s blog software • Communities of interest • Changes needed for this vision to happen
How Knowledge Workers Use the Web • Study of Web activities of knowledge workers • Aim to understand what new kinds of technological offerings users would value • Six categories of Web activities • Results lead to educated guesses about valued technology
Integrating Back, History and Bookmarks in Web Browsers • Back, History and Bookmarks – facilitate returning to previously seen pages • Operate on different underlying models • Created alternative Web site revisitation system that integrates these three functions
Discussion • Any questions?
