You say: "Doug suggests in his comments that a benefit of the wiki approach is RSS and that this "dramatically changes the interaction with content and the people that care about the content." However, I would argue that you can also RSS'ify a document management system if you want." I agree and large DM vendors are doing this. Go take a look at EMC, BEA, Opentext, etc. They are moving into the Web 2.0 world. Before supporting RSS, they used alerting (via email) as an alternative. I'm not saying they're elegant, but they are working on it. (By the way, I'm not working for one of the above.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145886833443377887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10124852.post-58120340162981440862008-02-21T08:30:00.000+11:002008-02-21T08:30:00.000+11:00I like the in the flow and above the flow ways to ...I like the in the flow and above the flow ways to use a wiki - collaborative ways of doing work and also a dumping ground like a DMS.<BR/>http://michaeli.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/12/in-the-flow-and.html<BR/>http://michaeli.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/01/supply-and-dema.html<BR/><BR/>A wiki is more than a document, it's more like a website.<BR/><BR/>Using a wiki for an event with hyperlinks to different wiki pages (and changes by rss and email) is much different than a DMS that has a folder with a PDF that links to other PDF's or scrolls to 10 pages long.<BR/><BR/>I see DMS as a filing cabinet (folder and documents),I see a wiki as a website (homepage and pages).<BR/>Some wikis can even have forums and chat<BR/><BR/>I've got more here:<BR/>http://libraryclips.blogsome.com/2006/09/07/events-dms-and-wiki/<BR/>http://libraryclips.blogsome.com/2006/06/23/wiki-and-edms/<BR/>http://libraryclips.blogsome.com/2006/07/06/wikis-edms-and-office-20/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10124852.post-57567736233900008182008-02-21T02:56:00.000+11:002008-02-21T02:56:00.000+11:00Hi James: I refer you to the discussion over at M...Hi James: I refer you to the <A HREF="http://martin.cleaver.org/blog/2008/02/15/wikis-in-legal-practices-toronto-wiki-tuesday-feb-2008/" REL="nofollow">discussion over at Martin Cleaver's blog: </A>. He is a wiki consultant here in Toronto, and he started out in knowledge management. He maintains that existing KM systems emphasize collecting documents and information after the fact, where as wikis focus on developing the ideas during the process. <BR/><BR/>Really, it all comes down to how you use the tools at hand. One could use a shared Word document in this way as well as Ted Tjaden did say in his original message. <BR/><BR/>I do find it interesting to explore the distinctions between all these tools.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Connie<BR/><BR/>Connie CrosbyConnie Crosbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049314387546446951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10124852.post-82397792155976561422008-02-13T12:05:00.000+11:002008-02-13T12:05:00.000+11:00James -I agree that my argument as not quite compe...James -<BR/><BR/>I agree that my argument as not quite compelling. I admit that applying a wiki to a problem is often a knee-jerk reaction of mine.<BR/><BR/>Of course I realize that wikis do not solve every problem and certainly would not be a replacement for a document management system.<BR/><BR/>I think that notification of change is a big differentiator between a wiki and a conventional document. I find that the flow of changes is a very different take on dealing with content.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I have not seen any document management system that you can rss-ify. I would like to hear more on that. I have not see that other than Google Docs.Doug Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13599519275050428569noreply@blogger.com
