CoLinK: Cooperative Knowledge Management for Engineering Teams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to today’s increasingly complex processes in planning and design, knowledge management (KM) is becoming a crucial factor of success in the engineering sector. In a participatory design project we created a prototype for a process oriented KM system (CoLinK), which allows engineers to jointly model projects with generic process descriptions, creating a virtual engineering community within the enterprise and beyond. During every project these process descriptions will be augmented with knowledge annotations. The CoLinK system includes a document as well as contact management module and lets users semantically link the corresponding information in the process context. With any finished project engineers can utilize the acquired knowledge to cooperatively improve the quality of the generic process descriptions.

Self-directed work teams (SDWTs) often result from reengineering and process innovation efforts as well as recent movements to `downsize', or ` ̄atten' organizations. Information systems (IS) departments have not been insulated from these trends. In spite of the rising interest in these teams, little is known about them in knowledge work settings like IS. Past research in blue-collar contexts su...
