Collective Intelligence
A hot topic in the Web 2.0 world is the importance of harnassing collective intelligence. Knowledge management itself is not a new idea but the willingness to share the knowledge and allow for collaboration is a step forward in recognizing that innovation develops from the minds of many.
This graphic is from Dion Hinchcliffe’s blog Five Great Ways to Harness Collective Intelligence. Expanding upon Ellyssa Kroski’s article, The Hype and Hullabaloo of Web 2.0, Dion outlines his top five ideas for leveraging collective intelligence:
Currently my department at UMW, DTLT is working on creating a community intranet for knowledge sharing. Dion and Ellyssa’s research can offer some valuable guidelines, resources and ideas to help us manage our collective intelligence.

Great stuff, Lisa. I think this idea of being the hub of hard to recreat data source is really interesting given my work with Historic preservation. They have some amazing research on hand that has been cataloged and even databased, but there is no effective way to interface it. that is where patrick’s discussion of CMS considerations really gels with this post. namely, you are addressing the essential question- how do we use the collective intelligence of UMW? And the natural follow-up -what kind of CMS do we house it in and why? There is some great synergy on these blogs. I’ll tell ya’.
