Managing Enterprise Taxonomies

Call in and Webex sign in provided after RSVP to Seth@earley.com or call 781-444-0287.

When: Friday December 10th at 11:30 AM - 12:15 PM EST (optional discussion/Q&A from 12:15 to 12:30)

Audience: People responsible for Content, Document and Knowledge Management projects, meta data and taxonomy issues

Purpose: Review techniques and a specific tool for managing taxonomy and thesaurus terms and mapping meta data from disparate systems

Topics: The problem of metadata and taxonomies
Challenges of multiple information architectures
Resolving multiple facets and polyhierarchies
Impact analysis
Collaborative change management

Abstract: Most organizations have more than one system for managing content. Some firms have dozens of instances of a specific tool that require synchronization of controlled vocabularies. In some cases, disparate systems require time consuming updates when taxo terms change. (Such as when a new product is introduced or if there are organizational changes). The tool we will review helps companies like Procter and Gamble and Hewlett Packard manage these challenges and automatically feed updates to multiple systems and tools while enrolling system owners and stakeholders in the taxo management process. (Thus helping to resolve conflicting organizational perspectives.)

This session will have a product focus at the end of the talk. (Many of the principles we will discuss require a tangible example in order to hit home. Schemalogic is a great example of how to address these challenges..)

About your presenter:

Seth Earley has been consulting in the area of knowledge, content and document management for the past 15 years. He is co author of "Practical Knowledge Management" from the IBM press, has taught graduate courses in knowledge management and is founder of the Boston KM Forum. Seth is a popular speaker at technology conferences and has done taxonomy and information architecture work for clients such as the Internal Revenue Service, the IBM Office of the CIO, GE Capital, Fidelity Investments, Raytheon Company, Progress Software, Abbott Laboratories and many others.

"Website redesign, restructure or refresh -- what makes the most sense?"

Your current website looks stale, has grown out of control, your
customers are calling you because they can't find anything on your
site, and the developer who used to update it has taken a new job.

It's clearly time to do something...but what?

Do you need a completely new site and have the time and budget to do it right?
Should restructuring the site be your top priority?
Can you get your management to pay only for a graphic facelift for the site?

You'll want a site that looks attractive and makes it easy for
visitors to find the information they are looking for. You probably
want to be able to update the site yourself. And you want a site that
can grow with your organization.

What is involved in each type of redesign project -- time, budget and
expert assistance? What kinds of software will you want to look at?

Come to this meeting to find out the answers to your questions.
Leaders from three top Chicago Web design/development firms of
different sizes will give an overview of each type of project.

Speakers:

David Armano, Senior Creative Director, agency.com <www.agency.com>
Since '94, David Armano has been an active creative professional working in the mediums of interactive, broadcast, and print.
Currently, David is a Senior Creative Director for the Chicago office of AGENCY.COM, an interactive marketing agency.

David has worked in this capacity with numerous Fortune 500 companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Grainger, Bally Total Fitness, Kay Jewelers and The Chicago Tribune to name a few.

Michael Silverman, Founder and CEO, Duo Consulting
<www.duoconsulting.com>
Michael Silverman has nearly 20 years' experience as an entrepreneur,
executive, and innovator. An early and enthusiastic adopter of new
technologies, Michael led the design and manufacture of
rehabilitation products prior to starting
Duo in 1999. Lately he has been focused on providing content
management solutions for the legal, B2B and public sectors. Michael
has an MBA from the J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management,
Northwestern University.


Randal Birkey, Managing Director, Birkey.com <www.birkey.com>
With a background in architectural and engineering drawing, Randal
Birkey began a freelance illustration career in 1981. From Chicago,
Randal provided technical illustration for corporate clients
nationwide into the 1990's. When computer technology revolutionized
print communication, Randal began to provide computer graphic design,
illustration and interactive multimedia. Randal transitioned into web
design and development in the mid-90s. Now a division of software
development firm MIS, Inc., makers of PAX-it image database software,

This first-of-a-kind summit brings together stakeholders in the rapidly progressing industry from top retailers, brand companies, network operators, location owners from all relevant verticals, advertising agencies, blue-chip advertisers, content creators/managers and rich media executives.

This educational event includes sessions on determining the objective of your digital signage network, how to create content that is both meaningful and entertaining, how to seamlessly integrate rich media into your existing media plans, and how to measure the effectiveness of digital signage and your content management strategies.

Key conference sessions on maximizing content for digital signage networks include:
• Why content is king: make content relevant, timely, and venue specific
• Defining your content strategy: tailor content to match your network’s objective
• Capture consumers’ attention: tools and tips needed to create content that drives product lift and impacts the bottom line
• Integrating digital signage: the right media mix for the right media campaigns
• Content strategies at retail: gauge how content impacts consumers
• Sourcing compelling content: where to go and how best to deliver

Every Digital Signage Network comes with its own set of challenges.  What kind of DSN have you developed?  Single or multi-purpose?  Is your objective to advertise, merchandise, brand, communicate, or perhaps a combination?

It is not enough just to have movement and flashy graphics. Your content needs to generate results, increase sales lift, brand, inform, educate, reduce perceived length of wait times, entertain and improve customer experience. The challenge is to leverage the upswing in awareness and desire to improve your Digital Signage content.

Strategy Institute is an independent research organization.  Strategy Institute assists corporate decision makers by presenting the latest and most significant industry trends enhancing business judgment.

What was clear at Open Publish 2005 is that battles over publishing technology are largely resolved. With even the formidable Microsoft Office file formats now migrating to open standards, it is clear that proprietary technology is no longer acceptable to users. 2005 also saw the introduction of the "mash-ups" where developers started connecting together their own code with popular sites such as Google Maps and Yahoo's Flickr. It is in this context that the 2006 Open Publish will shift focus from technology to practice. As standards level the technological playing field, the key success factor will be the capability and experience of the practitioners.

Therefore, Open Publish 2006 will continue to focus on the key areas of interest such single-source publishing and web content management, however this year will largely be from a perspective of methodologies, case studies, best practice, project management and human factors, rather than technology standards.

KCC Australia is where KM and CM tools and techniques converge offering you a holistic approach to managing your organisation’s unstructured and structured information and collective expertise.

KCC Australia will continue to offer you an insight into tacit and explicit KM techniques from today’s market leaders and gurus. It will still recognise the critical importance of process-based KM strategies and implementation. However, it will also offer you valuable insights into the latest CM, search and collaboration technologies and a thorough understanding of the principles behind capturing, sharing, exploiting and communicating your information assets.

Consequently KCC Australia features two streams. The knowledge and collaboration stream will provide an honest appraisal of cultural issues and change management techniques, and the content stream will offer an unbiased evaluation of CM trends and technologies. These two streams enable you to create a learning experience that is tailored to your specific needs and to meet like-minded professionals facing challenges similar to yours.

“The fact that designers have more than doubled their usability methods, while decreasing their redesign cycle time by six months, is striking proof that usability doesn't have to delay project launch.” Jakon Nielsen

Employees are demanding simpler, more intuitive and more “Web” like intranet experiences. Shiv Singh, CIO.com.au

Remember an intranet is only as good as how it serves its employees and its company. Shiv Singh, CIO.com.au

Your intranet is overloaded with content, difficult to navigate, no body uses it and the technology is out-dated.  Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to re-design the intranet ensuring that it adds maximum value to the organisation. Does this challenge sound familiar?

Research shows that on average an organisation’s intranet will need to be re-designed every 2-3 years. Nowadays it is an accepted fact that an intranet is not a static tool, it is constantly evolving and changing to adapt to organisational changes and requirements. Therefore the question is what do you want to achieve and where do you begin?

Ark Group’s 4th Annual Re-designing Your Intranet conference will focus specifically on how your intranet can add maximum value to the organisation. The event will provide answers to key problem areas such as:

o Winning the support of senior management
o Building a sound information architecture
o The importance of usability testing
o Managing governance and ownership
o Taking control of content overload
o Understanding intranet technology

This event gives you the opportunity to listen to case studies from organisations that have recently been through a re-design. Share their success stories and learn from their mistakes. Ensure that your re-design is completed on time and within budget and that your mission is accomplished!

For the last two years Ark Group, through KM Australia, has delivered the region’s knowledge

management community with an annual knowledge sharing and networking event. Recently, our

research has indicated to us trends throughout public and private sectors and across

industries that highlight a movement towards convergence within the fields of KM, CM, and IM

as strategic disciplines. The vital role that collaboration will play as this trend grows

has prompted us to expand the event and incorporate content and collaboration into the

overall programme. KM, Content and Collaboration Australia (KCC Australia) will offer you a

thorough evaluation of the latent trends, thinking and technology around knowledge and

content management and collaborative working.

KCC Australia is where KM and CM tools and techniques converge offering you a holistic

approach to managing your organisation’s unstructured information and collective expertise.

Rest assured, KCC Australia will continue to offer you an insight into tacit and explicit KM

techniques from today’s market leaders and gurus. It will still recognise the critical

importance of process-based KM strategies and implementation. However, it will also offer

you valuable insights into the latest CM, search and collaboration technologies and a

thorough understanding of the principles behind capturing, sharing, exploiting and

communicating your information assets.

Consequently KCC Australia features two streams. The knowledge and collaboration stream will

provide an honest appraisal of cultural issues and change management techniques, and the

content stream will offer an unbiased evaluation of CM trends and technologies. These two

streams enable you to create a learning experience that is tailored to your specific needs

and to meet like-minded professionals facing challenges similar to yours.

This conference will focus on they key considerations for ensuring effective search across your enterprise as well as looking at the future developments in the search market.

It will deliver case studies that highlight key considerations that include:

? Defining what search means to organisations today
? Implementing search and optimising search relevance
? Personalisation and profiling
? Searching across unstructured and structured content
? Embedding search into workflow applications
? Discovery and analytics
? The future of search

“The New Orleans Symposium aims at being the top open source content management conference in North America for 2006”, Says Alan Runyan, President of Enfold Systems.  The event will host two concurrent sessions – one track focusing on business, and the other on technology.  The first day consists of 3 hour tutorials on topics from Plone best practices to implementations at non-profits.  The next two days utilize 45 minute talks ranging from Enterprise Search strategies to Content Delivery options.

Andrei Codrescu, the noted writer and commentator, will close the symposium. Known for his unique insights into society and human nature, his thoughts on the open source community and its future promises to be both thought provoking and entertaining. Like a great cup of gumbo, the rich mix of applied business and technology topics should make this year’s Plone Symposium a memorable event.

2006 marks the fourth year of active deployment for the Plone Open Source community.  To encourage and cultivate the community spirit, daily post-event socializing is scheduled for the world-renown New Orleans Vieux Carre (French Quarter). In fact, over 90% of last year’s attendees indicated they would return and encourage others to come as well.

IA Summit 2006: Learning, Doing, Selling

Last year’s IA Summit attracted over 400 attendees, including beginners, experienced IAs, and people in a range of related fields.

This year we'll roll up our sleeves and tackle three key areas: Learning, Doing, and Selling IA.

Learning IA: People new to IA, IA mentors, educators and researchers, as well as any IA looking to specialize in a new area of the field will be supported by sessions that focus on acquiring new IA knowledge. From introductions to IA, through evaluations of academic programs to research papers on the frontiers of IA, we plan to include them all.

Doing IA: Practicing IAs have so much to share! Tips & tricks, new ways to use old tools, IA methods, processes and deliverables, they are all welcome, as well as case studies and models or overviews of the field.

Selling IA: Whether it is by your colleagues, your manager, or your client, at some point in your career you will be asked to explain the value of your IA work. This will be the topic of several sessions in our program, and we encourage people who have been on the receiving end of these explanations to submit proposals too!

So, mark the 2006 IA Summit in your agenda:

• City: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
• Location: The Hyatt Regency Vancouver
• Dates: 23-27 March, 2006

Keynote Speaker

We are pleased to have Dr. David Weinberger, author of Small Pieces Loosely Joined and co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto, as this year's keynote speaker.

Are you moving your information to the web? Reusing content among multiple print and online deliverables? Sharing content among departments such as training, marketing, editorial, and technical information development? Are you restricting some content for internal use only or directing it to specific targeted user communities? Are you faced with a challenging, multi-faceted user environment but tied down with only document blobs at your disposal?

Join those in the forefront of component information management at the 8th Annual Content Management Strategies conference. Learn to create modular, topic-based content, ready for assembly into compound documents, and customized for targeted delivery. Take content embedded in those massive tomes and move critical components to the precise points where they are needed—in print or on the web.

Content Management Strategies 2006 brings you three essential tracks. Focus on management and planning or technical design and implementation, and learn how to implement the DITA standard from the experts. At CM Strategies, you’ll find a returning community of information developers and publishers who value building core content as much as its presentation and delivery.

The KM 2006 Conference will focus on current technologies and strategies with proven results for government organizations. This conference program is designed to address the current and evolving needs of government program and information technology managers in their efforts to leverage the benefits of knowledge management to meet their agency mission and business objectives.

They fail because companies don’t recognize that content management is a process, not a technology, and requires planning to ensure success. We have seen again and again that expensive technological solutions are ignored when they don't meet your organization’s needs and expectations. Personal experience with an enterprise CMS as well as work with several clients has led us to develop a series of steps that will help you use your CMS efficiently.

Topics we'll cover include:

Building your team
Assessing your content
Vendor selection
How to work with IT
Templates and components
Metadata and taxonomies
Content migration

Whether this is your first time considering a content management system, or you’ve been burned by failed implementations in the past, we can help you do it right.

This workshop is suitable for:

Web managers planning a CMS installation
Information architects
Visual designers
Writers, editors, and other content producers
Project managers

The ninth annual Australasian Online Documentation and Content Conference, AODC 2006, will be held at the Tradewinds Esplanade Hotel, Cairns, from Wednesday 3rd to Friday 5th May. This is the biggest event of the year for anyone involved in corporate documentation, online Help, Web authoring and technical writing.

AODC 2006 features almost 20 sessions covering techniques, technologies, tools and case studies, presented by international and local expert speakers. Session topics included DITA, structured authoring, XML, usability, editing, migration to Microsoft Vista, user assistance, dynamic HTML and case studies. For all the details, see the agenda.

The XML Summer School programme features three main tracks to provide a rich learning experience for delegates with any level of background knowledge, so whether you are a complete beginner, or need to expand your existing XML skill set there is something for you in the curriculum. Plus, there is the flexibility of either registering as a full delegate and combining seminars from any of the three main tracks, or selecting individual tracks for a more focused curriculum.

The learning doesn’t stop in the classroom either – the social events provide the ideal platform for networking with your fellow delegates or extracting information from the speakers on a one-to-one basis. Some delegates argue that the networking and learning experiences outside the classroom are as valuable as that in the classroom.

If you need to learn all there is to know about XML and related technologies, then the XML Summer School is the place for you.

Session description:
Google quietly entered the Enterprise Search market in early 2002. Analyst firms dismissed it as a tool for sophisticated environments, assigning it to the realms of inexpensive, simple, DIY search. The product line has grown since then, and has gone on the offensive in terms of marketing. New capabilities, notably the ability to integrate with Google Desktop Search for Enterprise, are renewing calls to "just get Google." Is it right for your organization? Perhaps. Join us as we discuss the factors an organization ought to consider before making the switch, including administration capabilities, focused collections, metadata and taxonomy use, customizations and more.

Is it To Be, or Not to Be? We'll help you decide.

Process automation is essential to the deployment of imaging systems, from orchestrating front-end capture to routing documents through the step by step completion of tasks. Both buyers and sellers recognize the importance of process automation and workflow, but the deployment techniques vary considerably. Some choose to use simple notification via email, while others use work queues. Yet the jump from workflow routing of images to enterprise BPM is significant, and often the needs and requirements are considerably different. This AIIM Webinar will focus on process automation of image intensive applications within the enterprise content management marketplace. We will provide a brief background on some of the challenges in the market today, and then dive into lessons learned by our clients.

The session will conclude with a Q&A section.

• Processing images almost always requires some form of workflow
• Document capture is more complex than anticipated
• Document workflow is very different than BPM
• Metrics and measurement are critical measurable payback

Practitioners and leaders from all disciplines are invited to participate in presenting and discussing the technology and design issues behind the changing web.

Formerly known as the XML Europe conference, XTech has widened its scope to incorporate neighboring technologies from the web and business. As the use of XML broadens out beyond traditional core topics, we want to reflect that in the conference. As well as XML, XTech 2006 will cover web development, weblogging, search, the semantic web and more.

About Apache Lenya
**********************
Apache Lenya https://lenya.apache.org is based on Apache Cocoon https://cocoon.apache.org, the XML publishing framework from the Apache Software Foundation. Apache Cocoon has been widely adopted in recent years and has become the defacto standard for XML publishing.

It delivers a wide range of functionality, from generation of HTML, WML, XML, PDF, SVG and RTF from a single data source, interfaces to various databases over JDBC as well as LDAP.

Apache Lenya integrates the BXE, Kupu and Xopus WYSIWYG editors. Apache Lenya makes use of official W3C standards wherever possible: XML, XSLT, XML Schema, XPath, XPointer, XLink, XInclude. In a departure from other CMS, Apache Lenya stores not only content in XML, but also CMS functionality such as user management, access control, revision control and workflow management. Customization of Apache Lenya is mostly done with further XML technologies such as XSLT and XSP. Java code is only necessary in special cases.

Apache Lenya is built up from individual modules written in Java that extend Cocoon with CMS functionality: Access Controller, User Administration, Editor Interfaces, Revision Controller, Scheduler, Workflow Manager, Publisher / Replicator, Dependency Manager, Forms Editor, Import-/Export-Functionality. Since these modules are based on XML themselves, they can be exchanged by modules from other vendors (Open Source or proprietary) as needed.

You are welcome to contact us for further information or send us an Email to event@wyona.com   for registration!
We are very much looking forward to share our knowledge with you!.

	LISA Comes to the Big Apple
	LISA is coming to the Big Apple! New York is renowned for its energy and international outlook. As the U.S.'s primary gateway to the world it is a fitting home for the 2006 LISA GLobal Strategies Summit, which brings together leaders in international business, technology development, and global processes. LISA events are known worldwide for their breadth of perspective and their ability to bring together all the players involved in making international business a reality. Come join such organizations as IBM, HP, Computer Associates, the European Union, Comsys, and Dell for three days of in-depth discussion on how to successfully meet the requirements of diverse markets. Featured speakers include IBM’s April Singer, content-management visionary Anne Rockley, Dell’s Michael MacGregor, and HP’s Arnaud Daix. Success in a global business environment is based on two factors: knowledge about international business and the ability to go from knowledge to effective practice. If the first skill sets executives apart from the crowd of would-be international business leaders, the second is what gives them the ability to produce a profitable ROI as they open new markets and successfully support customers around the globe.

However, whilst many organisations have either implemented eLearning programmes, or at least examined what eLearning can offer in terms of advancements in learning and development, many fail to fully grasp its potential. Key to the success of eLearning as a training device is ensuring that the programme you deliver is user-friendly, able to adapt to the needs of your organisation, and that you establish a broader framework to integrate it into your learning and development strategy.

This two-day interactive masterclass will provide you with an opportunity to engage with the course leaders and other attendees to really improve your understanding of how to get your eLearning initiative operating to its full advantage. You will leave this masterclass enthused and full of new ideas to implement in your workplace.

Open Publish 2006 will be the sixth annual conference for people who create, manage and publish information across traditional and electronic media.

What was clear at Open Publish 2005 is that battles over publishing technology are largely resolved. With even the formidable Microsoft Office file formats now migrating to open standards, it is clear that proprietary technology is no longer acceptable to users. 2005 also saw the introduction of the “mash-ups” where developers started connecting together their own code with popular sites such as Google Maps and Yahoo’s Flickr. It is in this context that the 2006 Open Publish conference will shift focus from technology to practice. As standards level the technological playing field, the key success factor will be the capability and experience of the practitioners.

Therefore, Open Publish 2006 will continue to focus on the key areas of interest such as single-source publishing and web content management, however this year will largely be from a perspective of methodologies, case studies, best practice, project management and human factors, rather than technology standards.

We are pleased to announce that the Call for Papers is now open and we look forward to yet another year of increased participation from the local and international community.
