5:05 pm knowledgetank: Mistakes are a part of being human http://bit.ly/du7sqZ #KM #KMers
5:05 pm jeffhester: Greetings @stephendale. Jeff Hester from Fluor Corp joining in Southern California #KMers
5:06 pm stephendale: @jeffhester Hi Jeff and welcome #kmers #KMers
5:06 pm stangarfield: Hi, Steve. Stan Garfield, community evangelist with Deloitte in Detroit. #KMers
5:07 pm stephendale: @stangarfield Hi Stan - as ever, an honour to be in your company! #kmers #KMers
5:08 pm Ridgehead: Hello all, Matt Haggerty, partner at Ridgehead Software in Chicago #KMers
5:09 pm stephendale: #khub will match conversations to user profiles - less hunting for key info. Achievable? #kmers #KMers
5:10 pm stephendale: @Ridgehead Welcome Matt. #kmers #khub #KMers
5:10 pm stangarfield: @stephendale Can you say more about how that will work? #KMers
5:11 pm pekadad: @stephendale Hi - Lee Romero from Deloitte in Detroit here. #KMers
5:12 pm stephendale: Profile data provided at log-in. A recommendation engine will pick up and match topics/memes with the profile #kmers #khub #KMers
5:12 pm stephendale: @pekadad Hi Lee and welcome! #kmers #khub #KMers
5:14 pm pekadad: @stephendale Are you speaking specifically of http://www.local.gov.uk/knowledgehub ? #KMers
5:14 pm Ridgehead: @stephendale Is KHUB fully implemented/operational across all facets of the gov, or just in beta? #KMers
5:14 pm stephendale: Recommendation engine will work similar to that on Amazon - matching wants with needs #kmers #khub #KMers
5:14 pm mojoneill: @stephendale I don't know why that wouldn't work, provided that all content is properly tagged, etc... #kmers
5:14 pm stephendale: @pekadad yes - #kemers #KMers
5:14 pm mojoneill: @stephendale We already see similar behavior in social media apps, advertising, etc... #kmers
5:15 pm mojoneill: The problem is going to be tags... #kmers
5:16 pm stephendale: @Ridgehead Just starting development. Have been in 9 months public sectore procurement! #khub #kmers #KMers
5:16 pm stephendale: @mojoneill Yes, and wonder why we haven't used in KM before (or have we??) #kmers #KMers
5:17 pm jeffhester: @stephendale won't matching by my profile will find what I already know about, rather than where my needs lie? #KMers
5:17 pm stephendale: @mojoneill There will be a mix of auto-tagging and human tagging. Everything will be tagged. #kmers #KMers
5:18 pm mojoneill: then there's the problem with diction. Your "hamburger" is my "burger", etc... #kmers
5:18 pm Ridgehead: @jeffhester maybe it'll behave like pandora, matching your likes and introducing similiar knowledge based upon other users likes #KMers
5:18 pm pekadad: @stephendale All content? All profiles? Both? I'm feeling a bit puzzled so far (no context). Is there a link I can read details? #KMers
5:18 pm stephendale: @jeffhester You may not know about a conversation happening in a blog that you're not following #kmers #KMers
5:18 pm SCPier: Greetings @stephendale. Jeff Hester from Fluor Corp joining in Southern California #KMers http://goo.gl/fb/CZb9o #TheOC
5:19 pm stephendale: @mojoneill You sat tomayto I say tomato - can't do much about that :-) #kmers #KMers
5:20 pm stephendale: @SCPier Welcome Jeff #kmers #KMers
5:20 pm mark_barratt: @stephendale (oops no hash) tagging is the key issue: got any secret sauce? #KMers
5:21 pm stephendale: @pekadad #khub will be seeded with several nudred feeds - all indexed. Users can add more feeds. #kmers #KMers
5:22 pm mojoneill: well, I think tagging only gets you partway there. the other issue would be profile affinity... #kmers
5:22 pm Ridgehead: @stephendale Like many social tools (FB, LI) won't it take massive user adoption to reach full potential? How long will that take? #KMers
5:22 pm stephendale: @mark_barratt I've used some good auto-tagging tools (e.g. Amplify) - we'll implement similar. #kmers #KMers
5:23 pm mojoneill: if user A reads 5 of 7 articles that user B reads, and both follow a similar set of tags, then system should recommend next 2 articls #kmers
5:23 pm stephendale: @mojoneill We're also using auto-entity extraction - e.g. Open Calais. Will supplement tags. #kmers #khub #KMers
5:24 pm stephendale: @mojoneill Yes, and have to hope that the technology works like that :-) #kmers #KMers
5:25 pm stephendale: @Ridgehead We have 75,000 users on a legacy CoP platform. Hoping we can migrate these when #khub ready #kmers #KMers
5:27 pm stephendale: Moving to next Q #khub will integrate metrics data intelligence with CoP conversations. Will this drive service improvement? #kmers #KMers
5:29 pm mark_barratt: @stephendale what is 'metrics data intelligence'? #kmers #KMers
5:30 pm stephendale: Have I baffled everyone with the last question? #kmers #KMers
5:31 pm stangarfield: @stephendale I think you need to provide much more context - we don't have enough background #KMers
5:31 pm jeffhester: @stephendale perhaps you can clarify with an example? #KMers
5:31 pm stephendale: @mark_barratt Gov open and linked data showing things like performance and benchmarks #kmers #KMers
5:33 pm stephendale: @jeffhester Council spend data - e.g. http://openlylocal.com/ #kmers #KMers
5:34 pm stephendale: @stangarfield Councils are required to publish spend data. We can start to do comparisons by spend category. #kmers #KMers
5:34 pm mark_barratt: @stephendale Fab! As an organising principle for conversations, or as a navigation facet, or both? #kmers #KMers
5:36 pm stephendale: @stangarfield Comparisons of spend per head across councils on e.g. social care may reveal inefficiencies #kmers #KMers
5:37 pm Ridgehead: @stephendale so it's a data aggregator? #KMers
5:37 pm stephendale: @mark_barratt Mainly as an organising principle for conversations (will think about nav req) #kmers #KMers
5:39 pm stephendale: Another Q: #khub will have a toolset for users to develop mashups. Is there a marketplace for this in public sector? #kmers #KMers
5:40 pm stephendale: @Ridgehead Yes! A data aggregator. #kmers #KMers
5:44 pm stephendale: Example of a mashup (in case I've confused) http://bit.ly/9Xm1c9 #kmers #khub
5:44 pm Ridgehead: Q3 With a user base of 75K & involving gov data, yes. For smaller communities, the marketplace may not have the traction/synergy #KMers
5:45 pm stephendale: @Ridgehead Thanks - good point. #kmers #KMers
5:48 pm stephendale: Another example of a mashup http://bit.ly/a8Azn9 - think the US lead in mashups #kmers
5:51 pm stephendale: Q4 (final) - are there any similar #khub initiatives out there? #kmers #KMers
5:57 pm Ridgehead: Gotta drop. Thanks all & @stephendale, please update us in nine months when KHUB is implemented. Good luck! #KMers
5:57 pm stephendale: For info #khub first release will be Feb/Mar 2011, then incremental releases up to Sept 2011. #KMers
5:58 pm stephendale: @Ridgehead Thanks - will be sooner than 9 months - that was how long it took to procure supplier :-) #KMers
6:00 pm stephendale: One last point - it's all built on open source software and will be an open platform (with published API). All can use. #KMers
6:02 pm stephendale: Signing off now. Thanks for interest. Will respond to any other questions/suggestions - just tweet me. #khub #KMers
6:02 pm swanwick: Submit a chat topic for an upcoming session at http://www.kmers.org/topicsuggestions/dashboard #KMers
