Highlights from three teleconferences on social bookmarking in the enterprise, including a system based on an open source program, one using a commercial social search product, and a third offered through a commercial information service.
This month's entries include an article on search usability, a mashup that shows federal earmark spending on a map, a new search engine to identify market opportunities, and the use of Wikipedia text as a source for a KM vocabulary.
This teleconference is
designed as a backgrounder for the December 12 roundtable "Benchmarking Sharepoint for KM." Its purpose is to
orient you to the roundtable context and help you understand the concepts
and tools discussed.
Paul Rehmet of Unisys will share the results of a detailed technology evaluation of Google, Microsoft SharePoint 2007, and other vendors for enterprise search.
Jean Graef of the Montague Institute will give a brief tutorial on mashups and Qin Zhu of HP Labs will describe an expertise mashup that combines a list of technical reports with data from the company employee directory.
