WORKSHOP 2 (20/7/2016)
1:00PM - 4:00PM

​Getting Started in Search – Agnes Molnar and Maish Nichani
This workshop will help approach enterprise search from a user-centric, holistic way.

​We will cover:
  • Users: how to understand search tasks and outcomes from the user’s point of view
  • Content: how to optimise content so that it can serve the search tasks and outcomes
  • Context: how to leverage context to improve relevancy and user experience
  • Interface: how to optimise the interface so that it matches the search tasks
  • Technology: what types of technology to look out for to enable the desired search
     experience
  • Governance: how to continuously improve the search experience and scale it to other
​    search projects


Getting Started in Text Analytics – Tom Reamy
Text analytics can enhance KM applications of all kinds from basic knowledge repositories to advanced search to new models of knowledge. This workshop covers how to create an integrated platform to support all these applications and more. To create this platform requires an understanding of the full range of text analytics capabilities (entity extraction, auto-categorization, sentiment analysis, etc.) as well as a practical guide to how to get started (business justification, selection of software, training, etc.).

This workshop is based on Tom Reamy’s new book, Deep Text: Using Text Analytics to Overcome Information Overload, Get Real Business Value from Social Media, and Add Big(ger) Text to Big Data.

The workshop covers:
  • The basic analytics techniques from machine learning to sophisticated rule building
  • An evaluation process to select the right text analytics software for your organization
  • An iterative development process that includes major issues and how to overcome them
​  • The range of types of applications that can be built with text analytics from advanced
    expertise applications to new uses of social media

​Opening Keynote – Robert Glushko “The Discipline of Organizing: A Framework for Achieving {Organisational Benefits, the Benefits of Organising}”

​Organizing is a fundamental issue in many disciplines, most notably library and information science, computer science, systems analysis, informatics, law, economics, and business. However, these disciplines have only limited agreement in how they approach problems of organizing and what they seek as their solutions. This talk presents a higher level framework for issues and problems of organizing that emphasizes the common concepts and goals of the disciplines that study them. The framework proposes that every “Organizing System” involves a collection of resources, and we can treat physical things, digital things, information about such things, and even the people who use them as resources. Every Organizing System involves a choice of properties or principles used to describe and arrange the resources, and ways of supporting interactions with the resources. By comparing and contrasting how these activities take place in different contexts and domains, we can identify patterns of organizing and see that Organizing Systems often follow a common life cycle.
