Knowledge, Learning, Community
A forward looking presentation arguing that "software systems that enable e-learning, knowledge management, and performance support will merge their capabilities. The resulting e-knowledge capabilities will enable a fresh set of 'killer apps' involving the sharing of e-knowledge." I think that's true, and I think they're a lot closer than many people think. But once again, let me remind the reader that the innovation that accomplishes this revolution will be small, simple and massively distributed, and manifestly not some new type of enterprise software. I like the "Nouns - Verbs - Context" diagram in this paper, though I still see the progression as more akin to moving from syntax to semantics to (two types of) pragmatics. PDF format.
