Current methods of access to the electronic resources offered by the Internet make little use of basic principles of information organization and retrieval, relying instead on relatively informal and, at times, ad hoc approaches. This creates problems in terms of the volume of information retrieved by a user of the Internet and the precision with which that information matches the user's information need. There is a plethora of engineering resources available on the Internet, yet no systematic method of retrieval is available to engineers who are in need of the most current information in their discipline. The Internet is often the only immediate source of the most current engineering resources. The purpose of this project is to identify electronic resources that could be of value to engineers and to represent these resources in a manner that enables engineers to make timely, informed decisions about the usefulness of the resources. This paper addresses the specific objectives the project which include: 1) the development of selection criteria for electronic engineering resources; 2) the identification of electronic resources of interest to engineers, as defined by the selection policy; and 3) the creation of abstracts for these electronic resources that will include at least two hyperlinks to other related electronic resources.

In developing and marketing its portal product, Hummingbird has followed a distinctly different strategy from vendors who have emphasized arriving at portal solutions through integration of third-party products. Hummingbird has emphasized the openness of its own architecture and its interoperability with the document, content management and other applications offered by others. But it has also drawn on its acquisition of a variety of technologies to emphasize something closer to a comprehensive, single-vendor solution in which the portal server is the delivery channel for diverse Hummingbird applications integrated within the portal framework. It calls the solution an Enterprise Information Management System (EIMS), and it-Hummingbird Enterprise (HE)-rather than its narrower portal product, will be the focus of this column. (AU) |

Knowledge Management Paradox
|
|
On line ( 15/06/2004) |
|
A balanced approach to practicing KM goes beyond current intranet technology. Intranets can function as a useful enabling tool, certainly, but they should be viewed as just one piece of a larger plan and not as a solution by themselves. Intranet technology can prove very useful for an organization looking to catalog, grow, and refine its information repository. Still, the challenge remains to translate that information into results such as improvements to current business practices or future innovations. |
